Of Mountains and Seas
Lahore Biennale Foundation
Lahore, Pakistan
Lahore Biennale Foundation is honored to present selections from Of Mountains and Seas, the third edition of its biennial, curated by John Tain. The project worked with artists from Pakistan and beyond to suggest the lead role that the country, which with others across the continent stands to suffer most from climate crisis, can play in helping societies adapt through the wealth of local and indigenous knowledge. On view in the Monnaie de Paris are works by Hamra Abbas, Feroza Hakim, Mella Jaarsma, Imran Qureshi, Fazal Rizvi, and a performance by Abuzar Madhu, which present a vision of ecological awareness from Asian perspectives. Powered by the French Embassy to Pakistan, with in-kind support from Pakistan International Airlines.
