Barrio of Pakistan

We are excited to announce the second installment of BARRIO, a gathering of culture, sounds, flavors, and art. This month Blind Insect is featuring Pakistan. The culture of this country is starkly contrasted, diverse, and vibrant. It is a melting pot of Indian, Persian, Afghan, Central Asian, South Asian, and Western Asian influences.

As the second installment of this project, we're going to feature the artwork by the Pakistani artist Najia Omer with her solo exhibition "THE WAVES WILL CARRY US". This show explores and reflects who the artist is as an American, an immigrant, a woman, a Muslim, and a mom.

We will explore the music of Pakistan with Dj Prashant. Originally from India, he will fuse a wide range of musical influences, sharing with us the sounds of this country.We will enjoy the flavors of this land with delicious snacks, Pakistani style.
