The word 'manzar' in Urdu can be translated to mean a scene, a view, a landscape or a perspective, highlighting the extraordinary vitality of the diverse art scenes in Pakistan and its diasporas. A selection of approximately 200 paintings, drawings, photographs, videos, sculptures, installations, tapestries and miniatures present multifaceted modernities and contemporary practices. Tracing divergent narratives, this exhibition focuses on the deep engagement of artists and architects in continuity and discontinuity, and in the transference of knowledge, resilience and continued ecological concerns.
