سفر نصیب / Safar Naseeb / Fated to journey community event

Sunday 2 November, 1pm – 3 pm

Join exhibiting artists Elyas Alavi and Fazil Mousavi together with commissioned writer Aziz Sohail for an afternoon of conversation, learning and traditional Hazara food at La Trobe Art Institute.

Alavi, Mousavi and Sohail will discuss the new commission, نصیب / Safar Naseeb / Fated to journey, on our building’s façade. In this work, artist and poet Elyas Alavi has collaborated with Quetta-based senior artist Fazil Mousavi, bringing their explorations of the Hazara migratory experience into dialogue across oceans.

In conversation with Sohail, the artists will reflect on the history, art and culture of the Hazara people, including the Hazara experience in Pakistan and globally, as well as the Sketch Club school in Quetta where Alavi and Mousavi first met.

The event will conclude with a casual meal of traditional Hazara food cooked by local Hazara community.

This is a free public program. Please RSVP for catering purposes.
