NO FATHER – NO FRONTIER OPENING RECEPTION – MARCH 7, 2025

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, with an opening reception from 5:30-7:30 PM.

No Father–No Frontier is an examination of the relationship between family and state, and their subversions by the female gaze in exile. All three of us, removed from our points of origin, in the tout-monde–the West is in us, we are in the West. Displacement affords us the luxury of viewing distance. 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.
