Haal-e-Raqs

Dance artists and creatives Uzma Ashraf, Momina Farooq and Alina Chaudhry (Pakistan) worked with Gaudiya Nritya dancer Rachel Perris (Dhaka) and children residing in the Kamahan area on the outskirts of Lahore in Pakistan. Traditional dance forms such as Kathak and Gaudiya Nritya were reimagined alongside poetry to tell locally-rooted stories, which aim to reclaim and deepen artistic understanding and expression through a socio-economic lens. Watch the project unfold on You Tube and Facebook.
