FREE ARTIST TALK with Mahwish Chishty: Rayguns, Robots, Drones

Following the Evening Exhibition Tour, at 6:30pm, special guest and participating artist Mahwish Chishty will give a slide talk in the museum. Chishty, who was born in Pakistan, will explain how she has incorporated her training as a miniature painter into her work on drones, using traditional techniques to tackle issues with contemporary political and social relevance. She will also discuss the impact of her 2011 visit to Pakistan and how the presence of drones in everyday life—and in news media and casual conversation—inspired her work.
