Description
Renowned artist and curator, Salima Hashmi, joined by her sister, Moneeza Hashmi, presents an illustrated talk exploring how Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s poetry has inspired generations of visual artists across the world. Through a curated selection of striking artworks, this session will trace the creative dialogue between Faiz’s verse and the visual arts.
Alongside this, the session will also explore the visual and artistic influences that shaped Faiz’s own sensibility – artists whose work resonated with his aesthetic and worldview. From classical miniature painting to revolutionary visual movements, these influences formed part of the broader cultural landscape that informed Faiz’s poetic imagination.
The session will be chaired by Professor Saeed Khan, an academic and commentator with deep expertise in cultural history and the visual arts, who will bring insightful context to the conversation.
Together, the session offers a layered portrait of creative exchange between poet and painter, word and image, influence and legacy.
