Shahzia Sikander has been involved in rediscovering, reinfusing and recontextualizing Indo-Persian miniature painting since the early 1990s. An internationally-recognized artist and alumnus of the Glassell School of Art's Core Residency Program, Sikander works with painting, drawing, animation, installation, video and film, engaging a multiplicity of themes including transformation as narrative, the exploration of disruption as a means to cultivate new associations and issues concerning labor, scale and time.
