Making art together, in Lahore

Sangat runs hands-on workshops and manages live events from start to finish — the artists, the sound, the band and everything in between. From intimate film screenings to concert evenings, we create gatherings where people learn something new and enjoy art together.

Workshops

Vintage Letter Writing

Prepare your own paper with natural dyes, then write letters the old-fashioned way after a reading session — vintage outfits encouraged. Materials included. Led by Anaya Khan and Gullmakai Tareen.

Classical Music Classes

Vocal, tabla and harmonium, taught by Ustaad Ghulam Abbas, an experienced classical music teacher from NCA, Lahore.

Lino Cut

Carve your own design into lino and print it by hand — a first step into printmaking.

Oil Pastels

Colour, blending and texture with oil pastels, for beginners and returning artists alike.

Bookmark Making

A relaxed, hands-on session designing and making your own bookmarks.

Art Therapy

Slow, mindful making sessions where the process matters more than the result.

Schumaila Rehmat Hussain performing — Laila-o-Tarab poster

Event managed by Sangat · The Colony, Lahore · 18 January 2025

Laila-o-Tarab

An evening celebrating the music of singer and composer Schumaila Rehmat Hussain, live at The Colony. Her songs bring Jaun Elia’s poetry into a contemporary sound; the evening combined live music with conversation about her journey and her forthcoming album, and recitations by Adeel Afzal of his own writing.

Sangat managed the event end to end: coordinating the artists, the band and the sound, and working with The Colony on the evening itself — down to the soundcheck, because the details are what make a live evening feel effortless.

Event management: what we handle

Concept & programming

Shaping the evening — screenings, performances, talks or workshops — around your audience and your space.

Artist management

Booking and looking after artists, musicians, speakers and guests, before and on the day.

Sound & live band

Sound setup, soundchecks and coordinating the band, so every performance sounds as it should.

Venue coordination

Working hand in hand with venues such as The Colony and Marqaaz on layout, timings and the run of the evening.

On-the-day running

Managing the event as it happens, so hosts and artists can focus on the audience.

Workshops & follow-ons

Pairing events with conversations and hands-on sessions — like a DOP workshop after a film screening.

Film screenings

A series of screenings of Pakistani films and documentaries at Marqaaz Studio, Lahore, managed by Sangat — often followed by a conversation with the cast or a hands-on workshop.
