Vasl Artists’ Association launched our first volume and series of Artists’ Books – ‘Conversations with Contemporary Pakistani Artists’ at Vasl’s rooftop. The book launch included a brief yet informative discussion between the four selected artist contributors for Volume 1; Aamir Habib, Madiha Hyder, Seema Nusrat and Seher Naveed.
These series of publications were one of Vasl’s many initiatives of 2017 in effort to connect a wider amount of the community through extensive research and publications involving contemporary art practices. The book launch provided a supportive backbone for Vasl, giving us the opportunity to discuss the fundamentals of creating publications such as these artist books, in close collaboration with various artists. During the discussion, each artist reminisced about their personal struggles and journeys in the art community. They even chatted about certain obstacles and personal challenges they overcame. References made in the books were utilized to highlight each artists’ individual approach as well as their interests in various spectrums of contemporary art and research.
