Well, Come Back Home
Well Come Back Home
Shanal Kazi
WELL, COME BACK HOME,, was conceived and curated by Shanal Kazi is a dual gallery parallel group exhibition which showcases the work of over 50 artists from various parts of the country. The artists were provided a poem by the curator, on the basis of which they created a fascinating body of work, welcoming their soul, spirit and artistic practice to meld together. Through their works, the artists invite the viewers into their homes and delve in the diversity. To come back home. Afterall, an artist’s core is inextricably linked to expressive freedom, free from diktat, from restraint. Allowing them to sing their soul’s song, the curator is asking them to silence external noise and produce what ‘home’ is to them, a metaphor for their authentic art practise. If they were given a space, a blank canvas, some even have advanced and explored different mediums to express themselves, adventuring their abilities. Hence, the title has two connotations: “Well, Come back Home” (The curator asking the artist to come back home) “Welcome back home” (the artists ‘home’ greeting the artist) Well, come back home will open on the 18th of June at Koel Gallery, Karachi and at Full Circle Gallery, Karachi and will continue until the 28th of June.
