Professor Risham Syed’s Exhibition Featured in The New York Times

Professor Risham Syed, Head of the Fine Arts Department at the Mariam Dawood School of Visual Arts and Design (MDSVAD), BNU, became the sixth artist to develop an exhibition based on The Newark Museum of Art’s (NMOA) collection. Her works address themes of colonialism, capitalism, and climate change, engaging with diverse inspirations such as American landscapes, Chinese scroll paintings, and The Ballantine House period rooms.

The exhibition, Destiny Fractured, curated by Dr. Atteqa Ali, presents new artworks in immersive spaces alongside Syed’s earlier installations and objects from the NMOA collection, displayed in both the Global Contemporary galleries and Seeing America. The show earned international recognition when it was featured in The New York Times by Rachel Sherman—appearing online on June 27 and in print on June 28—marking a significant moment for Prof. Syed, BNU, and MDSVAD.
