[Michelle Antoinette]

Nusra Latif Qureshi: The House of Irredeemable Objects Opening Saturday 26 July, 3–5pm Join us for the opening of Nusra Latif Qureshi: The House of Irredeemable Objects, Saturday 26 July, 3–5pm at MUMA. The exhibition will be officially opened by Maud Page, Director, Art Gallery of NSW. RSVP The House of Irredeemable Objects is the first major solo exhibition in Naarm/Melbourne to survey the thirty-year career of Nusra Latif Qureshi. Known for her exquisite painted works extending South Asian painting traditions into contemporary contexts, this exhibition locates these works alongside larger installations and a new commission drawing on objects from Monash University's Special Collections. Through Qureshi’s use of layered references, vivid colour and recurring poetic motifs, this significant new exhibition traces threads of history, migration and the politics of representation, reflecting on power, memory and desire. We look forward to welcoming you.
