About the Program

Join MUMA’s curators for a 30-minute tour of the paintings, photography and installations that make up The House of Irredeemable Objects by Nusra Latif Qureshi.

The House of Irredeemable Objects is the first major solo exhibition in 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 with sourced objects and imagery. Tracing threads of history, migration and the politics of representation, the exhibition reflects on power, memory and desire through Qureshi’s use of layered references, vivid colour and recurring poetic motifs.
