Artist Scheherezade Junejo’s exploration of complex topics in her work is a thematic tenet which permeates her art throughout the spectrum of several solo shows, 70 group shows, and significant global recognition. Her unique story is shaped by factors like her familial upbringing in Pakistan; the influence of other boundary-pushing auteurs like Magritte; an anatomically-inspired approach toward portraying the human body through the lens of respect and social cognition; and intrinsic drive shaped by the context of resistance, in the climate of social conservatism. Our transcontinental conversation delved through these components among others which have shaped who Scheherezade is as an artist.
