Shahzia Sikander: Extraordinary Realities

Description

Virtual field trip available July 5 through September 26, 2021

This exhibition, produced in collaboration with the artist, examines the process of Shahzia Sikander, a Pakistani American who creates new works in the Indo-Persian painting tradition. Her artworks generate open-ended stories of identity, gender, race, and history for students to explore.

Offered At

The Morgan Library & Museum

The Morgan Library & Museum's school programs are anchored in teaching philosophies that define education as a way of building children's confidence as self-reliant seekers of knowledge and independent-minded creative thinkers.
In a classroom setting, the K–12 curriculum in the sciences and humanities is rarely studied through direct observation of primary sources, such as Mesopotamian seals and tablets, medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, rare printed books, master drawings, and period architecture.

Please note that for in-person field trips, we limit groups to 15 for a more interactive and intimate experience. We can accommodate no more than 4 groups, or 60 students, at one time in our historic library.
