  “He was preparing for us to be Samurai. He wasn’t just teaching us about art, but about how to approach life”Ahmed Ali Manganhar

Works by: Imran Channa, Fakeera Fakeero, Ayesha Jatoi, Arif Hussain Khokhar, Ahmed Ali Manganhar, Mohammad Ali Talpur, Nizam Dahiri

This exhibition, curated by Mohammad Ali Talpur and Hammad Nasar investigates the influence Fatah Halepoto, the renowned Sindhi art teacher, artist and writer, has had in the careers of a generation of young artists from interior Sindh, who have gone on to national, and in some cases, international success. This exhibition, Fatah Jay Aasay Paasay, has been conceived as a vehicle for some of the many young artists he inspired and mentored to pay homage to his influence through their work.

Equally importantly, it explores – through the work itself and an accompanying catalogue – the remarkable flourishing of raw artistic talent from a small area of Sindh. The exhibition will showcase the work of seven artists, originally from Tando Allahyar, Tando Jam, Jamshoro and Hyderabad.
