Artist

Aziz Sohail

Aziz Sohail is a Pakistan-passport holding curator and writer whose work builds interdisciplinary connections between art, history, archives, literature, theory, and biography and supports new cultural and pedagogical infrastructures. Their research and resultant projects honour and recognise the power of queer and feminist collectivity, sociability, joy, and wayward encounter and unfold through slowness, collaboration, and tentacularity.

Sunday 13 September, 8.30-10PM

Modern Mehfil

Part of the syncretic heritage of South Asia, a mehfil is an intimate, often formal gathering for the performing arts. Bring your yearning words, poetry and feelings or simply swing by to hear our featured performers take you through a queer reimagination of this affair.
