Rashid Rana has coined the term ‘EART’ to describe moments of self-expression beyond the arts: ways of thinking, being and acting creatively in real life. In this far-reaching exhibition at Dantzic during MIF21, the acclaimed Pakistani artist considered how the concept could be applied everywhere from social media to real estate development. And alongside it, Rana opened a pop-up shop at nearby Hanover Street, stocking products that turn capitalism inside out and consumerism upside down. With collaborators including Quddus Mirza, Adnan Madani, and others
