Join us to celebrate the launch of our two new spring season exhibitions, Shahana Rajani: Lines that World a River لکیروں سے دریا تھامنا and Dala Nasser: Cemetery of Martyrs.
Through moving image installations, Shahana Rajani's exhibition centres practices and lineages of drawing and painting through which coastal communities in Pakistan remain connected to sacred ecologies of rivers and sea amidst the violence and erasure of infrastructure and the climate emergency.
Dala Nasser's exhibition will feature a large-scale sculptural and sonic installation that invites audiences into a collective space of mourning and remembrance, honouring seminal artists, writers, poets, filmmakers, historians and journalists who fought for independence and freedom in times of political dominance and occupation.
Party the night away with a performance from steelpan player ZOLATEC and DJ set from bran rot in the café, and an exclusive first look at More Than Human, a new immersive media installation in The Space by Tom Dale Company as part of Light Night 2026.
