Inspired by the intricate details that make up our every day routine, six artists from different art schools in Pakistan, give an insight into their cultural geographies at the exhibition held at Indus Valley School. The seemingly ordinary subject matter of the work didn't particularly strike me at first, but on careful and astute observation, the seemingly banal object is made evident and seeks the question of its significance. These are a selection of photographs of the works at the exhibition which will be held from April 9- April 25. — Photos and text by Taahira Booya.
