Play: Subversive Contemporary Art in Pakistan and the Diaspora

Play: Subversive Contemporary Art in Pakistan and the Diasporaav Atteqa Ali
Om Play: Subversive Contemporary Art in Pakistan and the Diaspora

At the turn of the twenty-first century, a growing number of Pakistani artists embraced the nations perceived visual languages and political, social, and cultural history to interrogate and unpack Pakistans contemporary society and identity. The fruits of this shifting and mixing were works of art that turned artistic and societal traditions, from miniature painting to matrimonial rites, on their sides even as they upheld their significance. Through their works, artists examined and expressed the complicated nature of Pakistani national and cultural identities by looking at the societys most volatile concerns. The artists did not simply present these critical issues; they played with them. It is this playful contemporary artwork that this book analyses within a context of art practices in Pakistan, pedagogical methods at art schools in the nation, and the impact of larger historical events and social processes: colonialism, the partition of India and Pakistan, and globalization.
