About
Celebrate the extraordinary work of three unique contemporary artists, Tazeen Qayyum, Sumaira Tazeen, and Reeta Saeed and learn about the impact the renowned National College of Art in Lahore has had on their careers. In this panel discussion, led by ROM Curator of Islamic Art & Culture, Fahmida Suleman, Qayyum, Tazeen and Saeed explore themes that have influenced their work, from personal experiences as immigrants, women, and racialized people in Canada to concerns around global politics and war.
This program marks a landmark donation of their artwork into ROM’s collections in honour of Pakistan’s 75th anniversary, supported by Ali Adil Khan.
This program is generously supported by the Dan Mishra South Asia Initiative.
