The pleasure of following keyhole views and gaining insight into an artist’s experiences significantly captured in their work cannot match the story compounded by their oeuvre. Bhopal-based artist Shad Fatima offers a look into her ongoing artistic and personal journey — in her case the two cannot be separated — at her ongoing exhibition. Dasht-Gard — Urdu or Hindi for wanderer, lover or madman — opened at the start of this month at Ayesha Parikh’s Art and Charlie.
