Come, let us soar beyond the moon…
Come, let us soar beyond the moon…
Come, let us soar beyond the moon… is an evening curated by Baesianz responding to pioneering artist Hamad Butt (1962-1994) and his retrospective Apprehensions at Whitechapel Gallery, taking the dream-like visual poetry of Pakeezah (1972)—a Bollywood film that featured heavily in Butt’s psyche—as Baesianz‘ starting point.
Tracing the dance between danger and desire found within Apprehensions and the epic musical drama Pakeezah, the evening will feature a specially commissioned live performance by artist Sami El-Enany and a programme of short films, untangling the poetics of risk, longing, and diasporic memory, and how bodies, histories, and collective energies often exist in tension.
