Please join us in this Intimate Portrayal of the Artist in an In Person Illustrated Presentation : Zarina and the Folding House

Zarina’s art practice offers a perspective radically different from the mainstream narrative of modernism, which has historically been shaped by a Euro-American and male-centric art world. The talk will highlight how the trauma of Partition and the pain of not belonging take on complex existential dimensions, through her mystically elevated minimalism and a sparse, bare abstraction that explores aspects of home, migration, distance and geographical separation.
