WHAT IS RŪNG Ā RŪNG – TEA & TRUCK ARTt?
Rūng Ā Rūng means “colorful.” Indus Arts Council is creating a colorful cultural experience for Houston families to indulge in the nuances of Pakistani tea and truck art culture. Many Asian and Eastern countries use tea in their daily lives almost ritualistically, as an element to cleanse or commune. Tea in Pakistan takes on a unique stance where it is essential to hospitality and weaving bonds of friendship and longterm relationships between strangers and families.

Browse and buy original truck art by local artists of Houston—the colorful truck art that has transformed transport branding into pop art in Pakistan.

Tickets start from $10 only - Ticket link coming soon
