TUSIF AHMED’S WORK DISPLAYED AT GADFLY THEATRE, DALKEITH
Tusif Ahmed’s Papercutting art was definitely admired by those who
were presented at the opening night. If you have got time please
visit the gallery to appreciate the creativity through Tusif’s
imagination. The exhibition will run till 24th June.
Another of his exhibition has commenced at Kulcha Art Galllery so
there is a choice for people who live in Fremantle as well.
Do visit and support his work. It is definitely a great display of art
and is worth watching.
AN EVENING WITH SOHAIL WARRAICH
A great collaborative effort by all friends and collegues to welcome Mr. Sohail Warraich. This
definitley generated an intelligent discussion. While Amina contacted the guest, Bilal and Ahmed
took the responsibility of logistics, Umer conducted the program, Rida managed the catering and
Samar publicised the program so it was upto
the guest to turn up and interact in a relaxing
environment at UWA. While we started 12
mins late we definitely finished in time. Mr.
Warraich and Munir are now back home and
have sent a message to share with
friends.The photographs have been
uploaded on our page.

RAMCHAND PAKISTANI ON MEGA SCREEN
Finally the movie has been given a green signal from the organisers
and it will be screened on mega screen. The suggested timings are
8.30 because of the nature of the movie. Due to winter season the
screening has to wait till September. As per members’ feedback we
will be requesting the movie to be screened on a Sunday at 8.30 pm.
Our preference is now during school holidays and that it does not
clash with Royal show. At the same time we are also planning to have
another movie Bol to be screened in November to coincide with
Telethon so Pakistani community can contribute towards this event.
Keeping fingers crossed.
