Hosted by the Visual Arts Division, the exhibition commenced on Monday at the PNCA premises, drawing attention from art enthusiasts, cultural connoisseurs, and esteemed guests alike. The inauguration ceremony was graced by the presence of Dr. Arjumand Faisel, Curator Gallery 6, whose remarks underscored the profound journey of spiritual connection depicted in Akram’s works.
