Meher Afroz | Fahim Siddiqui/White Star
I have met Meher Afroz on numerous occasions, but this is the first time that I have set foot in her residence. It is afternoon and I find the space around me to be cozy, dimly lit and comfortable. I anticipate an engrossing conversation with one of the most intellectually stimulating artists of our time.
Around me, the walls and the floor are adorned by a wonderful art collection. I am excited to see a rare sculpture by the late Mian Salahuddin, mellow landscapes by Musarrat Mirza and many ceramics from the ASNA Clay Triennial. There is only one work by Afroz on the wall, a series of palimpsest prints from the ‘Scarce Water’ series (2019), and we begin talking by exploring their significance.

As the year 2020 comes to a close, it is time to go over all that happened in this crazy year that we are leaving behind.
With over 68 million infected with Covid-19 and 1.5 million dead, the last 12 months have been nothing if not a roller coaster ride to get away from the virus, sickness and loss.
Luckily for us, vaccines are underway and soon, the pandemic will be behind us or at least that is the hope.
