FOR HUSAIN AT 94

Saalgirah Mubarak, September 17th 2009

SAHMAT, The Safdar Hashmi Memorial Trust, in association with the
Outreach Programme of Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi is pleased to
invite you to a special event - FOR HUSAIN AT 94 – celebrating the
94th birthday of artist MF Husain, at the MF Husain Gallery at Jamia
Milia Islamia.

An exhibition of over 100 artworks which have been made as a gift for
Husain by both eminent and emerging artists and art students will open
that morning at 11 am. Through the day, we will screen his movies:
Gajagamini, (2000),  with Madhuri Dixit, Meenaxi: A Tale of Three
Cities, (2004), with Tabu, and Through the Eyes of a Painter, (1966) –
which won the Silver Bear award at the Berlin Film Festival. The
filmmaker and critic K Bikram Singh will deliver a lecture on the work
of Husain based on his large new book on the painter. The Vice
Chancellor of Jamia Millia Islamia, Najeeb Jung, will release the
book, For Husain at 94, which is the tribute gift to Husain from
artists. The evening will end with an Iftar outside the gallery.

This exhibition and book is both a tribute and a celebration of the
work and life of Husain from artists and a reminder to Husain that
inspite of attempts to denigrate his art and his forced exile, the
creative community holds him in the highest regard.

Please do join us.
