Objects tell their stories if you let them.

A semblance of inane trinkets, tapestries, Musiviri paintings and self portraits; Nusra Latif Qureushi work recognises the cracks within imperial institutions and reveals a complex beauty. Sehej Kaur and Toobs bring us an in depth interview with the Pakistani visual artist, who has spent many years reclaiming the Musiviri art form, alchemising it into a political statement and bringing to the fore women's labour and autonomous expression.

Birds in Far Pavilions is on at the Art Gallery of NSW until 15 June 2025.
