Shahzia Sikander is the inaugural artist in the Jennifer Howard Coleman Distinguished Lectureship and Residency Program created by Otis. This program, exhibition, and catalog are made possible by generous support from the Samuel Goldwyn Foundation. The exhibition features recent paintings, a site-specific installation and video animation and is curated by Meg Linton, Director of the Ben Maltz Gallery & Otis Public Programs.
