Sur-o-Sukhan at the Bethak

A Mehfil of Words, Melody & Community

Our Bethak hosted a beautifully curated evening of Sur-o-Sukhan — a heartfelt gathering of stories, poetry, music, and shared heritage.

The mehfil brought together a wonderful blend of performances, featuring:

Jennifer Franklin, whose soulful voice filled the room with warmth

New poetry by Mamoona Shafique

A special performance by young artist Sambhov

The atmosphere was enriched with nostalgia, laughter, chai, and desi snacks, creating a welcoming space where creativity and community came together.

Events like Sur-o-Sukhan capture the essence of RAQS Art: celebrating culture, nurturing emerging artists, and keeping our storytelling traditions alive.
