@clevelandmuseumofart On view now: Shahzia Sikander: Collective Behavior at the Cleveland Museum of Art (@clevelandmuseumofart) and Cincinnati Art Museum (@cincyartmuseum).

In Cleveland, the CMA presents Sikander’s art in relation to South Asian objects from the museum’s collection that have inspired her. This exhibition offers a narrative that the CMA is uniquely suited to share: it carries forward in time the rich histories that are encompassed in the museum’s renowned South Asian collection.

At CAM, the exhibition is a career-spanning presentation that, rather than proceeding chronologically, follows Sikander’s primary ideas and inquiries throughout her work, rooted as they are in a recurring lexicon of forms, figures, and ideas. The exhibition, the largest and most comprehensive presentation of the artist’s career, explores Sikander’s role as an American artist, a Pakistani artist, a Muslim artist, a feminist artist, and—perhaps most significantly—a global citizen engaging with a disrupted historical narrative.

Visit Shahzia Sikander: Collective Behavior across Ohio to view these remarkable works in person and to understand more about this prolific artist. Visit the CMA and CAM websites for more information.
