Zarina: Directions to My House
6 June - 1 August
STPI presents Zarina: Directions to My House, a landmark solo exhibition of Zarina (1937–2020, Aligarh, India; London, United Kingdom), one of the most significant printmakers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries and a key figure in minimalist and diasporic practice. This show will be the largest presentation of Zarina’s works in Southeast Asia.
Curated by New York-based independent curator and Zarina’s former studio manager Sarah Burney , Zarina: Directions to My House offers a deeply informed perspective on the artist’s life and work. This major exhibition brings together over 50 works from 12 lenders across multiple cities, presenting her practice at a scale not previously seen in Southeast Asia and reflecting her life that was profoundly shaped by numerous continents – having lived across Bangkok, New Delhi, Paris, Bonn, Tokyo, Santa Cruz, and finally New York.
This Annual Special Exhibition delves further into Zarina’s pioneering work with print. Alongside the exhibition, STPI will also present a series of public programmes inspired by Zarina’s work, including activities centred on collagraphy, cartography, and poetry.
The exhibition runs from 6 June until 1 August. For more information about the exhibition and to register for workshops, head here.
