This thesis analyzes selected works by Pakistani-American Indo-Persian miniature painter Shahzia Sikander, that visually and conceptually respond to Pakistan's miniature revival movement of the 1980s and explore the under-represented feminine within the genre. In Mughal India of sixteenth up till early nineteenth centuries, traditional miniature painting enjoyed a prominent status ranging in subject matter from Hindu myths, Islam, and imperial courts. The genre's visual lexicon was then highly androcentric with sidelined female characters that bore little individualistic identity. After British India's partition in 1947, the practice of miniature painting was gradually shunned by male-dominated Pakistani art circles who embraced European modern art movements. However, in the 1980s, this resulting wave of Pakistani modern art was challenged through the revival of miniature painting by mostly women artists. The under-reviewed body of art created between 1991 and 1997 by Sikander thus revives traditional miniature painting as a contemporary art platform through insertion of the personal and centralization of female protagonists in the previously androcentric framework of the genre.
