A line zigzagging across a piece of paper, a contested border, a festering wound, an unbridgeable ravine: Zarina’s iconic woodcut print Dividing Line (2001) contains a lifetime of history, memory, and dispossession. Join the Fowler and Saloni Mathur, Chair of the Department of Art History at UCLA, in welcoming Aparna Kumar, who will discuss the importance of this abstracted landscape in the life and practice of Indian-born, NY-based artist Zarina (1937-2020), and to our understanding of home and belonging. Learn about Zarina’s unique attachment to paper and printmaking, her laborious woodcut carving process, her innovations in cartography, and the intimate relationship of Dividing Line to her experience of the 1947 partition of India and Pakistan. Free with RSVP.
