About


Ghar: Frames of recollected memories is a multimedia installation debuted at Lanbouwelang, Maastricht as my graduation show from Maastricht Academy of Interdisciplinary Arts. It invites the audience into the journey of recollected, restored and reformed memories of my beloved grandmother, Fareeda Khatoon.


Central to the installation is a short video work documenting his grandmother, a Bombay soul in a post 1947 Karachi as she looks back at her life and identity sculpted from the fragments of a divided homeland. The  film is a visual chronicle of Fareeda’s life and Halar’s love for her, as the premise involves compiling collective memories through several one-on-one exercises.


The installation also consists of several pieces including expired passports, photographic documents, silverware, and jewelry from his family archives alongside a research trail of his travel, process, thoughts from his Journal
                    “گھر کی کتاب : Volume I”.
