Artists are born to do wonders and the CAFE is created to draw all such poets, journalist, musicians, writers scholars and photographers to give a push to resistance in most effective and creative way. This was the first few which crossed my ear from some corner of shiny creamy coloured hall.
Don't get confused I am just sharing my worthy Sunday evening experience from inaugural session of Centre for Art and Free Expression (CAfE). The metal gate of the creative institution opens in a Muslim populated area, taking inspiration from the Harlem Renaissance.
Bilal Zaidi, host of the event describe the initiative as,
Inspired by the Harlem Renaissance that took place in the city of New York in the 1930s, the Centre of Art and Free Expression aims to be a cultural centre that... draws Muslims and other marginalised writers, artists, musicians, photographers, poets, and scholars. It's a safe space where they could freely express their talents.
The place was packed with highly diverse audience. People joining event were of all ages and from different professions apart from artists. Event began with the multilingual poet Amy Singh and carried by Sabika Abbas Naqvi and Janab Arif Naqvi. The mic was open so several seasonal poet took the platform and gave left impressive impression over audience.
Photographs are yet best way to explore unspoken. let's rejoice some candid together.
