LUBNA CHOWDHARY : (Next... )

(...) When I talk to Lubna about the fabulous production of tiles that has flourished in Pakistan and in particular in Multan to refer to a link with her roots, she has doubts. She talks more about her English upbringing, which also has a rich pottery tradition. But as I know well, from having lived through strange confrontations with very distant links that I had not known about, that roots so distant that they do not pass through the sieve of our consciousness are still present in us, it is my turn to express doubts.

Afterwards, Lubna says that the fabric of which she is made is a great mixture of everything and everywhere, so many lasting influences; of course I recognize that as the discourse of modernity, and it is quite simply what the present day makes of us, whether that is what we want or not.
