  • Summary

  • Nusra Latif Qureshi has spent over 30 years reviving Musaviri, a centuries-old South Asian art form nearly lost to colonial history. Her mixed-media works—paintings, collages, and sculptures—speak to themes of trauma, dislocation, and resilience, often featuring solitary female figures that embody both absence and presence. Trained in Lahore, Nusra channels history into her art, breathing life into forgotten stories and reinterpreting them for today’s world. In this episode of SBS Spice, Suhayla Sharif sits down with Nusra at her first major solo exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, delving into how her art invites South Asian audiences to reconnect with their lost histories.
