SUMMARY:آبِ رواں Aab-e-Ravaan: Language Like Water
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nآبِ رواں Aab-e-Ravaan: Language Like 
 Water\n\n \n\nMay 2 to August 1\, 2026\n\nLegacy Downtown | 630 Yates 
 St.\nLekwungen Territory\n\nآبِ رواں Aab-e-Ravaan: Language Like 
 Water explores the artistic practice of Farheen Haq\, an interdisciplinary 
 artist born into an immigrant family with roots in Bihar\, India\, and 
 Karachi\, Pakistan\, she now lives and works on lək̓ʷəŋən territory 
 (Victoria\, BC). Through her work\, Haq returns to her parents’ 
 experience and ancestral lands\, drawing on the Urdu poetry of Mirza Ghalib 
 (1797–1869) as a source of connection\, memory\, and reflection.\n\nIn 
 this exhibition\, Haq looks to water as a guide in relationship building 
 and to understand the flows of migration\; as well as tracing the fluidity 
 of language through poetry. Her work moves like a ghazal\, where every 
 droplet carries the meaning of reconnection. In آبِ رواں 
 Aab-e-Ravaan\, Urdu becomes a living current\, flowing and shaping 
 relationships. Like water\, it holds memory and connects seemingly distant 
 lands and waters to the Salish Sea\, offering a space where identity 
 remains in motion\, always shifting and creating new meanings.\n\nCurated 
 by Anahita Ranjbar.\n\nThe opening celebration will take place on May 2\, 
 2026\, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm.\n\n \n\nImage: Farheen Haq\, Aankh Band ke
