Opening in two weeks–’Shahzia Sikander: Collective Behavior’

Shahzia Sikander’s (born 1969, Lahore, Pakistan) command of diverse media and traditions, from historical South Asian “miniature” paintings to digital animation, reveals a vibrant visual universe that reimagines the past for our present moment. This career-spanning presentation approaches the main inquiries in Sikander’s work, grounded in repeating visuals, forms, and themes.

Debuting at the 60th International Art Exhibition—La Biennale di Venezia and organized by the Cincinnati Art Museum and Cleveland Museum of Art, ‘Collective Behavior’ situates Sikander as a transformative global citizen and artist committed to disrupting established historical narratives.
