Maryam Wahid

Más información sobre el libro

This is Maryam Wahid's first major exhibition in her home city of Birmingham. Zaibunnisa refers to the artist's mothers name prior to emigrating from Pakistan to the UK in 1982, for an arranged marriage. Zaibunnisa means 'the beauty of women'. At its heart, is the poignant relationship between the artist and her mother and their journey to Lahore together in 2019. It was Wahid's first-ever visit to Pakistan and her mother's first return visit in over twenty years. English and Urdu text (includes Urdu poem). Accompanies the exhibition of the same name at Midlands Arts Centre (MAC), Birmingham, Sat 5 Feb - Mon 18 April 2022.
