Zarina completed her graduation in B.Sc. with honours from the city’s Muslim University in 1958 before she turned to the study of printmaking in India and then abroad. She also studied printmaking with S. W. Hayter and Krishna Reddy at Atelier 17 in Paris and in 1974 studied woodblock printing at Toshi Yoshido’s studio in Tokyo on a Japan Foundation Fellowship. Experience: Hashmi has always engaged with the politics of space and its crossings. Her minimalist prints use these locations to construct new geographies, imbuing them with fresh perspectives and new, universal meanings. Mirroring her own extensive travels and the multiple meanings that the word ‘home’ has for her, Hashmi's work challenges familiar locations like ‘country’, the ways in which they are bordered, delimited and traversed and the feelings and memories that they evoke in us. Her work has been featured in several group shows and is part of the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris.
