DESCRIPTION:'Everyday Partitions: Contemporary Art and Exhibition Practice 
 in South Asia'\n\nAbstract: In the exhibition catalogue Lines of Control: 
 Partition as a Productive Space (2012)\, Iftikhar Dadi notes “the resurgen
 ce of artistic engagement” with the Partition of India in 1947 after its s
 triking absence from the field of the visual arts for most of the twentiet
 h century. Indeed the problem of borders\, nations\, and partitions has fi
 gured prominently in recent projects by Bangladeshi\, Indian\, and Pakista
 ni artists that cite the historical legacy of the Partition to reflect on 
 the present. This talk examines recent exhibitions of contemporary art – M
 y East is Your West (Venice\, 2015)\, This Night-Bitten Dawn (Delhi\, 2016
 )\, and The Missing One (Dhaka\, 2016)— that represented collaborations be
 tween artists\, curators\, and patrons in South Asia\, and reconsidered th
 e region’s relation to history and futurity. These exhibitions took up Par
 tition as a method and material with which to probe the making and unmakin
 g of place\, identity\, community\, and society in contemporary South Asia
 . In so doing\, they enacted an aesthetics and politics that rejects natio
 nal-cultural models for artistic production and display\, and articulates 
 new forms of postcolonial and global citizenship.\n\nBio: Sonal Khullar is
  an Associate Professor of Art History at the University of Washington. Sh
 e is the author of Worldly Affiliations: Artistic Practice\, National Iden
 tity\, and Modernism in India\, 1930-1990 (University of California Press\
 , 2015). She is currently ​at work on​ a book\, The Art of Dislocation: Co
 nflict and Collaboration in Contemporary Art from South Asia\, which exami
 nes how collaborative art practice has emerged as a critical response to g
 lobalization since the 1990s​.​\n
