Description

Nusra Latif Qureshi has built a career extending South Asian painting traditions while pressing on empire, displacement, and desire — revealing how power cloaks itself in colour, and how history leaves its mark on objects.

The House of Irredeemable Objects at MUMA brings together thirty years of Nusra Latif Qureshi’s work — an examination of tradition, history, and the everyday —  alongside a new commission which draws on Monash University's rare books collection. 

Qureshi explores how objects can carry something larger than themselves — a trace, a wound, or a memory — and reminds us that beauty and violence often walk side by side.
