Home is a Foreign Place
Zarina American, born India
Not on view
Zarina’s prints have a refined aesthetic that is at once formally spare and conceptually layered. Raised in Aligarh, India, but having lived in cities across the globe, Zarina often explores questions about migration, exile, and the tenuous meanings of "home." Made during a particularly fraught period when the artist faced eviction from her Manhattan loft, the folios in this series are visual responses to words in her native Urdu that conjure multiple senses of home—from the areas of a physical space to the experience of weather in a particular place to the cosmic phenomena that mark the passage of time.
