Posted @withregram • @qinza1 What does the word 'Shift' mean to you? In today's interconnected world, it holds significant relevance. The UN's World Migration Report 2022 reveals a staggering increase in the number of displaced persons worldwide, reaching 89.4 million in 2020.
This global issue hits close to home, as Pakistan has witnessed a surge in individuals leaving for opportunities abroad. In 2022 alone, 765,000 people departed, triple the departures of the previous year, driven by socio-political and economic factors.
Join us at art Soch Contemporary and reflect on the personal, national, and global stories that emerge when we journey from one place to another.
Discover how materiality evokes deeper connections and narratives of resilience and adaptation. Immerse yourself in this exhibition until May 27th, from 11 am to 7 pm.

Posted @withregram • @qinza1 Let's contemplate the word "Mulk"! Written in bold black in Urdu, which means homeland. This artwork aims to question the profound notion of 'country' and its intricate ties to identity.
In this solo exhibition, I invite you to reflect on the multifaceted relationship we have with Mulk. The word represents more than just geographical boundaries; it encapsulates our shared histories, cultural heritage, and the complex tapestry of personal and collective experiences that shape our identities.
The push and pull dynamics between ourselves and our countries, the emotions of attachment and detachment, the yearning for roots and freedom, and the bittersweet dance of love and frustration that accompanies our connection to Mulk (homeland).
Let's collectively delve into the depths of what "Mulk" means to each of us and how it influences our sense of self and belonging. Reflect on the profound interplay between personal narratives and the broader socio-political landscapes that shape our lives.
Visit art Soch Contemporary to experience this exhibition, running until May 27th, from 11:00 am to 7:30 pm.

Posted @withregram • @qinza1 In times of uncertainty, the heart seeks solace and safety. Inspired by Faiz Ahmed Faiz's poetry, the work titled 'Hum Dekhenge' (We Shall See) delves into the profound theme of contemplating departure from one's homeland for the sake of family-children, education by choice or by force amidst turbulent political and social conditions, or the struggle of staying rooted without the choice to move.
Through my art, I explore the emotions and dilemmas faced by individuals grappling with the agonizing decision of leaving or staying. The exhibition aims to offers a poignant reflection on the complexities of identity, belonging, and the yearning for a secure future.
Join me on this introspective journey as we navigate personal stories and collective experiences. Let us explore the delicate balance between hope and despair, resilience and vulnerability, as we examine the choices that shape our lives.

Home (written in Urdu in white text) is a complex concept that can evoke different emotions for different people. For some, it's a place of comfort and safety, while for others, it's a source of pain and longing. As a diaspora artist, I know firsthand the power of home and the profound impact it can have on our lives.
In my solo exhibition, "Meray Dil Merey Musafir: Tracing the Belongings," I also explore the theme of home and the ways in which displacement and migration can shape our sense of identity and belonging.
Through my artworks, including one with the text "home" in it, I seek to capture the emotions and experiences of diaspora communities, and reflect on the complexities of home and homecoming.
Whether you've left your city, home country by choice or circumstance, the longing for home is something that unites us all as diaspora. Let's come together and explore the many facets of home, from the memories and stories that shape our sense of identity, to the challenges and opportunities of navigating different cultures and societies.
Join me in this exploration by visiting my exhibition at ArtSoch Contemporary, where you'll find a range of dynamic artworks and side-specific interactive installations that invite you to reflect on the meaning of home and belonging. The show is up until 27th May.

Qinza Najm's Studio Visit and Process Insight for her upcoming Show.
ArtSoch is thrilled to present solo works by super talented inter- disciplinary artist "Qinza Najm" in exhibition Mere Dil Mere Musaffir- Tracing of Belongings opening on 17th May, 2023 . Join us to see mind-bending artworks from an expats perspective, a traveller and a explorer of ideaologies .
Her work digs deep in epistemology of displacement, whether it's voluntary or involuntary. The consequences it brings to mankind or an individual, the deeper introspection on the history of objects and stories they hold with their materiality.
The exhibition forecasts the prevalent issues of our times and our evolution as being in this transitory world of opportunities, disasters and identity crises. Najam as women artist from South Asian diaspora, living solo in cosmopolitan city like New York is a testimonial of strength in itself. As a vigorously practicing artist she fetches a prodigious synthesis of cultures from the East and West, in a quest for yearning of belonging which dwells beneath the desire of Heart.

"What does the word 'Shift' mean to you? For Pakistanis, it's an all too familiar feeling as we face constant political and economic uncertainty. Our youth are being forced to 'Shift' to other countries in search of financial stability and a new home. But this exhibition by NYC-based artist Qinza Najm is a timely exploration of the epistemology of displacement, both voluntary and involuntary.
Join us for the opening of 'Meray Dil Merey Musafir: Tracing the Belongings', a solo exhibition of works that examines the consequences of displacement on mankind and history.
Through dynamic artworks and interactive installations, Qinza invites us to reflect on the stories and materiality of objects. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with the art of one of South Asia's most exciting contemporary artists.
The exhibition opens to the public on May 12th, Friday at 5:30 pm until May 24th, 2023. Share your thoughts on displacement and join the conversation on #releaseimrankhan."

The curator of the show Mariam Hanif Khan writes;
"I am impressively intrigued by the process of Najm’s work, for her art and life come hand in hand. Anything can become a muse for her art-making process. It can be a gesture, object, person, literature, or a place. However, each allegory she chooses is comprehensively researched and thought through to its last layer and possibility. Each artwork is created like a nest, a stable base anchoring the composition, small hints of its surroundings, elements of familiarity and comfort woven with both sensibility to high art and craft together conjuring narratives from past and present; laced with both ecology and politics."

The exhibition will open to the public on May 12th, Friday at 5:30 pm till 24th May ,2023 showcasing dynamic artworks and side-speacific interactive installation.

Najm's work is known for its bold and expressive use of color and form, and her latest exhibition promises to be no different. Drawing from her own experiences of living in different places and grappling with questions of identity, Najm's works capture the complex emotions and feelings that arise from a sense of displacement and dislocation. Through her paintings, Najm seeks to create a dialogue about what it means to belong and to explore the ways in which identity is formed and re-formed over time.
