Conversation with Mahwish Chishty

"Mahwish Chishty combines new media and conceptual work with materials and techniques of South Asian art and craft traditions." from www.mahachishty.com I met Mahwish in 2015/16 when she and my 200 students from Maplewood High School put on an exhibit at the Red Arrow Gallery in East Nashville. https://nashvillearts.com/2016/03/maplewood-high-school-students-change-perceptions-through-art/  https://www.tennessean.com/story/life/arts/2016/02/07/maplewood-students-pakistani-artist-deliberate-drones/79660082/ She has exhibited her work around the world and is currently planning a project that will show in Chicago, India, and Pakistan. In addition to her website, this episode of Drone Futures about her and her work is fantastic. https://lnns.co/s6pTi3SOVC1 Drone Futures is hosted by Michael Richardson, Senior Research Fellow at the University of New South Wales, whose research examines the intersection of war, culture, and technology.
