THE THIRD SPACE UNFURLING DIASPORIC ARTS O F SOUTH ASIA
This event will look to the future of diasporic art as it contextualizes a shared narrative- a
colonized past and an imperial present. Fariha Khan, Asian American Studies Co-Director,
will be in conversation with Shahzia Sikander, a visual artist who has redefined
contemporary understandings of diaspora and difference and Arooj Aftab, whose work as a
musician has transcended genres and histories. This talk will showcase the global
interconnectedness of each artist's work as they redefine the unfurling of South Asian
American Diasporic Arts. This event is open to the University and the Philadelphia
community and will include a O&A session.
