Those attending will also have a chance to collect some pretty special merchandise including some very playful-designed matchboxes and more importantly, attend a spectacular exhibition called Rang-Saazi, -a curated showcase for contemporary visual artists to broadly explore and interpret music as a subject and subculture and its influence as an integral part of our collective, historical, and cultural identities.

Lahore Music Meet is constantly evolving and trying to grow. From our teeny tiny showcase the first year to this brilliant line up co-curated by Azka Shahid and Alifiyah Imani, Rang Saazi is a wonderful collection of artists who have created some unique pieces for #LMM17. Music and the visual arts are like chai and biskoot. Good separately, even better together. Make sure to hit up the art gallery while you're at Al Hamra! #LMM17
