Document Actions
april 08 - may 07
The first VASL International Artists' Residency in Lahore created a platform for intensive exchange of ideas and art practice, contributing towards building art and culture in Pakistan . Artists working together in close proximity for a sustained period allowed person to person exchange of ideas, information, and cultural understanding.
In a small but significant way VASL has consistently contributed to a better understanding and projection of artists through international exchange and has also created opportunities for the exposure of Pakistani artists worldwide.
Vasl Lahore works under the umbrella of VASL Karachi, which is a registered organization.
Participating Artists:
- Shahram Entekhabi, Irani video artist based in Berlin, .
- Asma Mundrawala, Painter and Theatre performer based in Karachi
- Nilofar Akmut, Photographer, divides her time between Kabul and Lahore
- Anup Mathew Thomas, Photographer from Bangalore based in Kerala,
- Awena Cozannet, Sculptor and Performance artist based in Lyon, .
Vasl activities planned for the future include an international artists workshop in January 2007. Such activities will help to make Lahore visible on the International Contemporary Art scene, while enhancing the profile of the old city through art and cultural activity.Coordinator
