The definitive publication on the globally recognized artist Shahzia Sikander, one of the most influential feminist artists today.
Born in Pakistan and active in New York since the 1990s, Shahzia Sikander explores the composition of multiple identities, incorporating a variety of artistic experiments in her work and critically revolutionizing the material history of South Asia. Sikander's distinctive feminist iconography focuses on the narratives of immigrant women, aiming to challenge Eurocentric art histories and Orientalist study.
This volume, published to coincide with a major mid-career retrospective that premiered during the Biennale Art in Venice and will be held concurrently at the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Cleveland Museum of Art, is the first comprehensive exploration of Sikander's ideas and art.
With hundreds of images, many presented in full-page or full-spread format, the richly illustrated book immerses readers in Sikander's vibrant and subversive art.
