Overview

Lahore-based Aisha Khalid is one of Pakistan’s leading contemporary artists, with a growing international reputation. She is part of a generation that has revitalized the traditional medium of miniature painting by juxtaposing decorative surfaces with deep socio-political subtexts around ideas about cultural expectations and stereotyping, the oppression of women and global politics in the aftermath of 9/11.
