Zarina () crystallised the idea of home without knowing where she truly belonged. She etched it in paper, wood, and gold.
One of the most celebrated printmakers of her generation, her work turns displacement, identity and home into something tender.
Curated by Sarah Burney ()—Zarina’s former studio manager and close friend—Directions to My House offers a deeply personal lens on the artist: her spirit, temperament, and the colourful life she lived across cities.
On view here at STPI till 1 August. Plan your visit now.
