Beyond Drawing with Shahzia Sikander.Talk with Shahzia Sikander, Dawn Clements, Tomaso De Luca, Rashwan Abdelbaki, Pradeep Sharma

Guido Reni Hall – tickets 5€ – free for myMAXXI card holders

Five opportunities to get closer to Shahzia Sikander’s works by focusing on several of the themes she explores.

In the presence of Sikander’s works on paper or her majestic video installations we find ourselves in touch with a research for formal purity and the contemporization of the traditional Indo-Persian discipline of miniature painting.

Included within the program of events Beyond Drawing a conversation with Shahzia Sikander and a few international artists, moderated by art historian Francesco Ventrella, to share notes and thoughts on the practice of drawing. A conversation aimed at exploring the potential of drawing to to disentangle thinking from the impulse to find absolute solutions, to reflect on interstitial and marginal areas, rich in alternatives. Shahzia Sikander artistic practice explores the boundaries between fiction and non-fiction, storytelling and historical writing and it digs fearlessly into the literary and visual canons, offering alternatives to the proverbial reading of the East and West divide. A special occasion to meet artists from different backgrounds for whom drawing occupies a central place in their artistic practice.
