Shahzia Sikander in NYC
Shahzia Sikander: Extraordinary Realities

June 18 through September 26, 2021
https://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/shahzia-sikander Pakistani American artist Shahzia Sikander is internationally celebrated for bringing Indo-Persian miniature-painting traditions into dialogue with contemporary art practice. This exhibition tracks the first fifteen years of this artistic journey, from her groundbreaking deconstruction of miniature painting in Pakistan to the development of a new personal vocabulary at RISD, expanded explorations around identity as a Core fellow at the Glassell School of Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and her global outlook during her first years in New York. During this period, Sikander richly interrogated gender, sexuality, race, class, and history, creating open-ended narratives that have sustained her work as one of the most significant artists working today
@Alison Guest Shall we go? is anyone else in or around NYC??
@Alison Guest I am planning to go to the exhibition on 8/27 if you'd like to join (or if anyone else is near NYC!). Loving this video she made about her relationship with the miniature painting tradition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74ZqtCfkNkQ
