Pakistan-born Melbourne-based artist Nusra Latif Qureshi is presenting her first major solo exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW (AGNSW), showcasing contemporary interpretations of ‘Musaviri’, the tradition of Persian and South Asian miniatures painting.
The style and technique was brought from Persia to the Mughal courts of what is now India and Pakistan in the 16th century. Qureshi’s contemporary versions carry those same poetics, woven with family memory, longing, the experiences of moving to Australia and diasporic identity.
