In the month of May, Vasl Artists’ Collective hosted UK based filmmaker and artist Seemab Gul to facilitate her research in such as the Cantt Railway Station and Ibrahim Hyderi fishing village in order to connect her with local artists. In appreciation of her work, Vasl collaborated with T2F, Arts Council England, British Council, where they arranged for a screening of Gul’s three films. These films were previously shown at the Geneva Contemporary Art Centre in early 2016 to project her work for the audience of Karachi. Gul discussed the process in making creating the three films, One Day in White chapel, Towards a Militant Conceptualism and The Student Revolutionary. Received with enthusiasm and praise, the screening at T2F was followed by a constructive Q&A session moderated by Vasl’s coordinator, Naila Mahmood where Gul expressed her practice in general, the challenges she faced as a young filmmaker as well as her interests regarding her career.
