LONDON.- Bani Abidi is one of the leading figures from a generation of Pakistani artists who trained during the 1990s and began exploring social contradictions through their artistic practice. Green Cardamom presents two key works by Abidi at this exhibition – Karachi Series 1 (2009), a photographic investigation into, and a lament, of the loss of Pakistan’s diverse cultural character in the face of the Islamisation of the nation’s society that began in the 1980s. This work was shown for the first time at the recent Xth Lyon Biennale curated by Hou Hanru.
