Artist Conversation: Aisha Khalid’s on the Making of Your Way Begins on the Other Side
In this short video from 2017, world-renowned Pakistani visual artist Aisha Khalid reflects on the inspiration behind — and the process of — creating her six-metre-long, double-sided tapestry Your Way Begins on the Other Side. Inspired by a traditional four-part Persian garden, and named after a poem by Sufi mystic Rumi, the handmade tapestry consists of more than 1 million gold-plated pins. Khalid’s creation was the Museum’s first contemporary art acquisition.
