Zaidi's Vintage Photography Exhibition | DASTAK

ISLAMABAD,  NOV 12  - Zaidi's Vintage Photography Exhibition | DASTAK. 

On the occasion of the first Islamabad Art Festival, Tanzara Gallery takes great pleasure in showcasing a vintage photography exhibition titled Dastak by Zaidi’s Photographers, the oldest photography studio in Pakistan dating back to 1930.

 The show opens at Tanzara Gallery on Monday 18th November at 4:30 PM. 

 It is often said that a photo is worth a thousand words, touching people at a deeper level than even the most eloquent writing.

 Even the world's oldest photographs, those that may seem so very distant from today's high-tech society, may tug at your heart strings or give you a sense of belonging. 

 These historical photos reiterate that sense of belonging – Shot between the 1930’ s and 2000’s they may make you look at Pakistan’s history, and the world, just a little bit differently. 

 The coming together of this exhibition has created an extraordinary opportunity to view, both known and unknown personalities from Pakistan’s history. Pakistan is a nation of contrasts, where the nations past and present co-exist, where oral histories live through generations and where multiple narratives thrive alongside each other.

This show presents this plethora of narratives and faces of Pakistan: all of the characters photographed collide to create this extraordinary visage - a fascinating collection of fragments that contain the essence of their time.

 They speak a language that is inarticulate: whether we know the stories behind these famous photos or not, they define our history itself. I hope it will be a truly rewarding and memorable experience for everyone!
