Shahzia Sikander
Hardback
Collective Behavior
Born in Pakistan and active in New York since the 1990s, Shahzia Sikander navigates the interplay of multiple identities, encompassing a range of artistic disciplines in her work and critically reinterpreting South Asian material history. Sikander's distinctly feminist iconography centers the narratives of immigrant women to challenge Eurocentric art histories and counter Orientalist scholarship.
This volume, accompanying a major mid-career retrospective concurrently at the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Cleveland Museum of Art, is the first comprehensive exploration of Sikander's ideas and art.Buy now!
