- A performance exploring food as a cultural bridge, Journeys of Love and More Love is the story of crossing continents and moving in between social and cultural divides. With olfactory triggers and taste explosions en route, an intimate group of dinner guests is invited to join itinerant journeys of lingerings and longings, families and feasts, sharing passions and pastimes, baba and chapattis.

- "It fuses perfectly the mediums of poetry, cinema, comic books and music resulting in a hilarious study of Asian culture in contemporary Britain. I feel I learnt more about this protagonist's life in sixty seconds than I do at the end of most Hollywood blockbusters", Eran Creevy, director and jury member.
Congratulations also to the artists of the other four films from 60x60 Secs that were nominated (out of nine) and screened at the award ceremony on Sunday 26 April at BAFTA.

- 60x60 Secs - Just presented in Pakistan
- A cultural snapshot of artistic expression between Britain India Pakistan
- 13 - 25 May, 10.30am-7.30pm
- VM Art Gallery, Karachi, Pakistan
- Sixty established and emerging artists from the South Asian Diaspora - twenty from each of the countries - present their personal perspective on home and boundaries. Using a one-minute format, these films range from the comic and abstract to the profound and often provocative, reflecting on the complexities of hybrid cultures and migration, the visible and invisible borders of nationhood and cultural identity.
Accompanying the films was an extraordinary Visitors Book made of over a hundred portraits of the UK audience who have elaborated on the meaning of 'home'. Artist Adnan Malik hosted similar sessions with the VM Art Gallery's audience, contributing to this ever growing itinerant collection.
