Between Kismet and Karma: South Asian Women Artists Respond to Conflict was conceived by Shisha in curatorial partnership with the University of Leeds.
This full-colour publication explores the project’s complex creative web of programmes, including the central exhibition, as well as the affiliated symposium, Beyond Borders; artist residencies; film programme and various interventions. It also includes evaluative feedback from the project as a whole.
Between Kismet and Karma provides an engaging and enlightening view of the featured artists, artwork and audiences, and addresses the curatorial themes of gender, home, body, environment and nation.
The publication provides a platform for artists, curators, academics and audiences to revisit, question and reflect on this multifaceted and unique programme, which was organised in collaboration with a myriad of partnerships, including museums, galleries, artist networks and universities across the UK and South Asia.
