Asia Art Archive welcomed art historian and artist Iftikhar Dadi as our resident during summer 2014.
During the residency, Iftikhar Dadi (in collaboration with Elizabeth Dadi) created light sculptures for a new body of work sparked from neon signs permeating the Hong Kong skyline and culminating in an open studio presentation at Spring Workshop.
Iftikhar Dadi also gave a public talk on the role of artist-teachers in the development of art schools in South Asia, and helped shape Innovation Through Tradition, a two-day AAA workshop that speculated on the parallels between Chinese ink, Arabic calligraphy, and Indo-Persian miniature.
Iftikhar Dadi’s residency included a public talk on 14 July.
Iftikhar Dadi's residency is presented in partnership with Spring Workshop.
