On Kings, Films & Astral Nomads

​

To follow her own curatorial direction for FIELD MEETING as an innovative and experimental space for all, Leeza Ahmady narrates an original text written for a future imaginary exhibition. As prompted by the artist Rashid Rana for the 15 year anniversary of Asia Art Archive, this original story features the early 20th century king Amanullah Khan who is evaluated by a variety of historical figures, ranging from Alexander the Great to the prophet Mohamad’s wife Bibi Khadija, in order to enter a special plane of “Astral Nomads”.
