CITY PULSE: Let Your Soul Blossom

Hira Zubair’s solo exhibition titled ‘Let Your Soul Blossom’ is running at the ArtChowk gallery until March 13.

Hua Kuch Yoon

Sajid Hasan’s play ‘Hua Kuch Yoon’ is a satirical prelude to ‘Sarhay 14 August Say Pehlay’. The play is a fictitious account of two love stories, present day and past, depicting the trials and tribulations of lovers caught up in the revolutionary web between Pakistan and India. With a humorous angle, it looks at how the lives of people can sometimes be affected by two warring countries. Presented by KopyKats Productions, the play continues until March 15 at the Arts Council. Call 0300-8208108 for more information.
