Har ja tu – the monograph – includes all artwork on display at the retrospective, as well as paintings which could not be accessed for the show. The book also includes representative samples of watercolours and drawings.

Mussarat Mirza’s light-filled images are further nested in reflection. The book builds community around this iconic figure with a research-based introduction by the curator, and essays by Salima Hashmi, Quddus Mirza. Critical notes, in the way of windows to her art, are shared by fellow-artists, academics and writers.

At heart, the monograph is conceived of as felt experience.
Har ja tu shares in the sublime energy, or taseer, of Mussarat Mirza’s life-world.
