Noorani Metal Sound

27 Mar 2026 — 21 Jun 2026
Noorani Metal Sound, the first major UK solo exhibition by Pakistani interdisciplinary artist and researcher Zahra Malkani. Featuring new sound work, sculpture, installation, and moving image, the exhibition draws on mysticism, ecological resistance movements and feminist aural practices to explore the intersections of the sonic and the sacred across Pakistan’s heavily exploited coastal and delta regions. Emerging from over five years of ongoing research, Noorani Metal Sound brings together Malkani’s field recordings and archival work tracing oral and sonic traditions of lament, devotion and resistance.
