The Last Leaf draws from O. Henry’s timeless story The Last Leaf draws from O. Henry’s timeless story—one many first encountered in childhood, yet one that continues to resonate deeply. Rooted in themes of hope, sacrifice, and resilience, it reminds us of art’s quiet power to comfort and heal. This exhibition brings together artists of different age groups, each engaging with the narrative in their own way—some revisiting its emotional core, others reimagining its symbols in contemporary contexts. We invite you to step in, reflect, and discover the meaning that lingers within you long after you leave. 📅 Opening Reception: Friday, 24th April 2026 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM 🕰️ Exhibition Dates: 25th April – 2nd May Monday to Saturday | 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM 📍 Venue: Please note: The location for this show will be Imperium Tower, One H, Gulberg II, Lahore, Pakistan Reposted from @cobalt_art_
A Square of Silence exists as a space where stilln A Square of Silence exists as a space where stillness is not emptiness, but a field of quiet intensity. Within the fixed boundaries of the square, nine artists engage with silence as a form of presence, shaped by memory, politics, nature, and introspection. Each work holds its own pause: some charged with histories and power, others rooted in breath, light, and fleeting moments. Together, they suggest that silence is not the absence of meaning, but the condition through which it gathers, deepens, and endures.

Through dialogue, the artists shared their artistic practices, professional journeys and experiences that shaped their careers. The conversations engaged with art, craft, design, music, dance, heritage, politics, material practices, and cultural memory. These talks fostered direct interaction with students and faculty, as questions and responses guided the entire discussion. With this approach, The NCA Triennale 2025 extended its reach beyond the galleries and established a dedicated space for shared reflection. #ncatriennale2025 #ncalahore #nca #arthistory #artistinresidence Reposted from @thencatriennale
