Collection: Adopt a boat or painting from the Indus Delta community!
印度河三角洲社群的小船和畫作

Shahana Rajani’s first presentation in Hong Kong, ‘In drawing, in remembrance’ follows communities in coastal Pakistan who employ various drawing practices to confront displacement and infrastructural violence. Drawing is simultaneously a medium of measurement and expression, enclosure and restoration; for the local communities of the Delta region, it is also a mystical Islamic device of navigation and recovery during crisis. Grounded in collaboration and field research, Rajani portrays these approaches to drawing in two recent video works by layering the stories of fishers, painters, elders and activists. All the paintings and miniature boats in the exhibition are available for pre-order. The proceeds will support the displaced Indus Delta community.

Shahana Rajani個展「以畫為記」為藝術家於香港首度舉辦展覽，追隨巴基斯坦海岸地區的社群，並紀錄他們如何以繪畫面對流離失所和基建暴力的困境。繪畫同時是測量與抒情、圈閉與重塑的媒介。它對印度河三角洲社群而言亦是伊斯蘭神祕主義的學問，在危難裏引領人尋路復原。藝術家經過長期的合作共學與田野研究，在兩部錄像新作中呈現這些迥異的繪畫實踐，交疊漁民、畫師、長老與行動者的故事。展覽中的所有畫作與小船均可供預購，所得款項將用於支援被迫遷離的印度河三角洲社群。
