Conversations with Traditions: Nilima Sheikh and Shahzia Sikander

Contemporary art
Shahzia Sikander and Nilima Sheikh are both of South Asian origin, but of different generations - Sikander, in her 30s and Sheikh in her 50s. The two artists articulate differing relationships with both the pre-modern court painting traditions and contemporary art practices.
