12Gates is honored to present No Father–No Frontier, a two-person show curated by Protyasha Pandey and featuring work by Humaira Abid and Aiza Ahmed. No Father–No Frontier opens on Friday, March 7th, 2025, and will remain on view until Saturday, April 26th, 2025. 

OPENING RECEPTION: March 7th, 2025, 5:30 – 7:30 PM 

(Twelve Gates Arts is located at 106 N 3nd St, Philadelphia, PA 19106). 

No Father—No Frontier is an examination of the relationship between family and state, and their subversions by the female gaze in exile. Drawing on the feminist argument for family abolition, Humaira Abid and Aiza Ahmed deliver critiques of paterfamilial regimes, and lay claim to personhood made outside of the established paradigms of lineage and citizenship.
