Internationally renowned artists, curators, and art educationists Aisha Khalid and Imran Qureshi will deliver a talk on Miniatures and Beyond at the Aga Khan University’s Special Lecture Series on December 1, 2016.
Pakistani artists Aisha Khalid and Imran Qureshi have challenged formulaic and restrictive stereotypes surrounding miniature painters for nearly two decades, emerging as two of the nation’s most visible neo-miniaturists.

Her work is displayed in several museum and private collections all over the world including the Aga Khan Museum and M+ Museum, Toronto; Fukuoka Asian Art museum, Japan; Sharjah Art Museum; Queensland Art gallery; Sheikh Zaid Museum; Harris Museum and World Bank.

In 2013, Imran was invited to work for the Metropolitan Museum of Art and was presented the Deutsche Bank “Artist of the Year” award.
