Birwa opens at Gallerie Sadequain
KARACHI: The old Urdu/Hindi adage Honahaar birwa ke chikne chikne paat implies that the potential of a (child) prodigy can be spotted at a very early stage. But Birwa, an exhibition that opened at Gallerie Sadequain on Friday evening to pay tribute to the blossoming art scene in Pakistan, does not only focus on the budding talent alone. It also celebrates the trail blazed by some senior painters and sculptors of the country, stirring a movement of sorts that has now culminated in a flourishing art culture in the country. The inaugural day, however, was marked by performance art featuring Joshindar Chaggar, Shabana Hasan, Vajdan Shahl and Sara Pagganwala.
