Inspired by the cinematic legacy of Pakeezah and the dream-like visual poetry of this epic musical melodrama, interdisciplinary creative collective Baesianz present a curated programme of film and live music.
Featuring a specially commissioned live, improvised music score responding to themes from the film and more, Baesianz invite you to an immersive and sensorial evening programme interweaving memory, desire, and romance with dreamscapes and speculative fiction.
The full programme will be announced soon.
This event accompanies our current exhibition Hamad Butt: Apprehensions.
Supported by the Centre for Public Engagement at Queen Mary University of London.
Baesianz is a London-based interdisciplinary collective that cultivates Asian-led narratives from all over the globe, founded by Sami Kimberley, Sarah Khan and Roxanne Farahmand in 2019. Born from a shared need to nurture their Asian roots and uplift Asian artists and communities, the collective organises multidisciplinary events including exhibitions, film screenings, solidarity fundraisers, workshops, radio shows, artist residencies, and audio-visual performances. Now a team of seven, Baesianz curates and exhibits the art and voices of Asian heritage folk living both within and outside of Asia to create an evolving archive that can be experienced by all.
