To Sabeen, With Love
Dil Phaink is a celebration of an inimitable spirit of abandon and exuberance, bordering on melodrama. We believe these troubled times and our muddled identities aren’t the problem, they’re the platform: the perfect stage for a nature that tilts towards the flamboyant, the need to wear your heart on your sleeve, take chances, romance the days, write poetry, and be joyous – to be ‘dil phaink’.
Artists, graphic designers, typographers, musicians, writers, videographers and architects will come together for this show to create an audiovisual showcase of Pakistani street culture, cult cinema, visual memory and matters of the heart. The show addresses how we as Pakistanis are responding to what is happening around us and how our humour becomes a refuge for the times when we feel powerless — a silent admission of the absurd logic that sometimes defines how we live and love in Pakistan. 15 May 2015 - 25 May 2015 10:00 AM - 10.00 PM Queen Elizabeth Hall Southbank Centre, London (Free and open to all) Learn More You can follow the show’s journey to London via Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
