About The Mehfil
Based in London, The Mehfil aims to spotlight contemporary culture from Pakistan and the Urdu language. Though a comparatively new nation, Pakistan has a long and rich cultural heritage - Karachi and Lahore being major centres of literature and the arts in the subcontinent for more than a thousand years. This relationship between Pakistan's 'newness' and 'oldness', along with its diverse ethnic composition, has given the country a distinct and effervescent identity, which colours its artistic, literary, and musical expressions. The Mehfil welcomes anyone wishing to discover this culturally significant facet of the subcontinent. Mehfil (noun) - An intimate evening of poetry, music or dance from the Indus region performed for a small audience. Mehfil in Urdu derives from the Arabic word mehfil (محفل), which means a (festive) "gathering to entertain (or praise someone)."
