April 24, 2025 Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA) and Nomad Gallery collaborative exhibition and documentary screening, “Rekindling: The Kalash Narrative,” celebrating the cultural heritage of one of Pakistan’s most distinctive indigenous communities.
The art exhibition was inaugurated by Senator Sherry Rehman. She stated that “I am honored to inaugurate ‘Rekindling: The Kalash Narrative, ‘ an exhibition that represents the vital work of cultural preservation and indigenous storytelling. The Kalash community is a living treasure of Pakistan’s diverse heritage, and initiatives like this help ensure their traditions and knowledge systems are documented and celebrated. Nageen Hyat and Nomad Gallery have long championed Pakistan’s cultural narratives, and this collaboration with PNCA highlights the importance of institutional support for such endeavors. As we face increasing environmental and social challenges across our northern regions, artistic documentation becomes not just aesthetically valuable but historically essential.”
This significant cultural event emerges from a unique three-part residency conducted by curator Nageen Hyat, focusing on the rich traditions and contemporary challenges of the Kalash people of Chitral. The exhibition showcases powerful works by six accomplished artists who have interpreted various aspects of Kalash life, heritage, and landscape through different media and perspectives.
The exhibition will continue till 30th April, 2025.
Daily timings: 10am – 4 pm
