MISS DOCENT: Pakistan, washer stacks and bright-brights.

Impressive permanent collections may have put our area museums on the map, but it's the rotating exhibits that keep visitors coming back. Every Thursday, Abigail Minor updates you on the newest and most browse-worthy. This week: Pakistan, washer stacks and bright-brights.

Out of the complexities of  Lahore, Pakistan comes the exhibit “The Divided Self,” hosted by the Slought Foundation. This exhibit, organized by Pakistani artist Huma Mulji, consists of numerous video works from Pakistan natives like Hamra Abbas, Bani Abidi and Basir Mahmod, who use metaphor and universal human experience to display facets of Pakistan’s politically, socially and ethnically divided 65-year history. There are only a couple weeks left to catch this one; don’t miss it.

Through Feb. 28, free, Slought Foundation, 4017 Walnut St., 215-701-4627, slought.org.
