Video Title : Zarina Hashmi
Video Description : This video brought to you by Tate.org.uk Zarina Hashmi left India in 1958. Around the same time, her family were subject to relocation from Delhi to Karachi following the partition of India and Pakistan. As a result, exile and the loss of the family home are embedded in her work, which often evokes physical and psychological spaces relating to memories of childhood and later life. Hear the artist speak about her piece Letters from Home (2004), a set of woodcuts in which handwritten letters from her sister Rani are overlaid by maps and floorplans that represent the artist's travels and places where she has lived, exploring the relationship with her native language and origins.
