In Pakistan, tea or ‘chai’ is offered as a gesture of hospitality, human dignity and hope.
The Pakistan 2010 monsoon ������oods were cited by the United Nations as the largest
humanitarian crisis in living memory. The environmental catastrophe affected 20
million people and highlighted the calm, accretive violence of slow, raging waters. Set in post-flood Pakistan, this visual testimony embraces the unsettling effects of
community knowledge and challenges the privilege of social interventionism.
Juxtaposing photographs with text, the installation grapples with notions of
counter-narratives and ‘voice’ even where and when words are not actually spoken.
