Please join us for this week's Art Divvy Conversat Please join us for this week's Art Divvy Conversation with Haroon Mirza on @artdivvy’s instagram-live on Friday 29 September 2023 at 5:30 PM PKT / 1:30 PM UK / 8:30 AM EST https://www.instagram.com/artdivvy/ Haroon’s adisciplinary practice tests the interplay and friction between sound, light and electric current. He devises sculptures, performances and immersive installations that pry on one’s awareness of their own experience. An advocate of interference, he creates situations that purposefully cross wires. We look forward to speaking with Haroon about his focus on waves, what he’s currently working on and what’s next! Haroon Mirza (b. 1977, London, UK) lives and works in London, UK. He describes his role as a composer, manipulating his primary medium, electricity, a live, invisible and volatile natural phenomenon. Preoccupied with waves, from those in the ocean to neural oscillations, from soundwaves to the electromagnetic spectrum, Mirza asks us to reconsider perception itself and draws into question the categorisation of cultural forms, theological tropes and truth in relation to belief.

Art Divvy Research Archives February 2022 Images f Art Divvy Research Archives February 2022 Images from Sindh, Pakistan - Sehwan, Sukkur and Mohenjodaro Each Art Divvy project grows out of travels, observations, passions and research, as well as readings, writings, site visits, conversations, images and studio visits. This trip has left a deep imprint and my learnings from it are slowly making their way into upcoming projects. In February 2022, my sister Suhair and I travelled to Sindh and were lucky enough to have the most extraordinary time. These are just a few of the videos and photographs we took at the following sites: Sehwan Sharif – A city of Sufi heritage in Sindh with the revered shrine of the great Sufi Saint Lal Shahbaz Qalandar and bustling bazaars. Mohenjo-Daro – Ancient archaeological site of the Indus Valley Civilisation. Most of the site is still un-excavated. The portion that has been has revealed an extraordinarily advanced city. Sadhu Bela - a temple complex, with a beautiful interiors and renowned libraries on the Sadhu Bela island in the Indus River, between Sukkur and Rohri, - where blind river dolphins come to visit. Landsowne Bridge at Sukkur is a colonial era bridge spanning across the Indus - it was a great engineering achievement in the of the 19th century. The Ayub bridge is next to it at Sukkur to divide traffic. Khwaja Khizr's (or Zinda Pir's) Shrine near Bakhar Island, an island between Rohri and Sukkur, is a revered pilgrimage site. All videos and photographs taken by Zahra Khan and Suhair Khan The song in the video was sung by Mr Murad Faqir, a Sufi Ascetic who accompanied us. Thanks and gratitude to Mr Masood Lohar! #artdivvyarchives #photographsfrompakistan #histories #artdivvyreseaercharchives #artfromsouthasia
