“Mapping Otherwise”
Curated by Katherine Duxiaole Zhang
March 29–April 12, 2026
Wed-Sun, 12-6 PM

Wallach Art Gallery
Lenfest Center for the Arts | 6th Floor
615 W 129th St
New York, NY 10029

“Mapping Otherwise” is part of the annual “MODA Curates” series at Wallach Art Gallery, where two outstanding proposals from the Columbia University MA in Modern and Contemporary Art: Critical and Curatorial Studies program are selected for exhibition.

Using a range of media from woodcuts to films, Zarina and Naiza Khan reclaim cartography from geopolitical interests, transforming it into a language of personal and collective memory.

“Mapping Otherwise” revisits this historical event and its aftermath: new borders, divided land, disrupted lives, longings, hopes, dreams... It explores the “line etched on the heart,” a phrase used by the artist Zarina to describe the violent engraving of a border onto an undivided landscape.

Through their respective work, artists Zarina Hashmi (b. Aligarh, India, 1937–2020) and Naiza Khan (b. Bahawalpur, Pakistan, 1968) revisit the historic 1947 Partition, which split British India into the nation states of India and Pakistan.

The upcoming weekend will be the final opportunity to see “Mapping Otherwise,” curated by Katherine Duxiaole Zhang as part of the 2026 “MODA Curates” series at the Wallach Art Gallery.

"Skins, Not Our Own", is part of the annual "Moda Curates" series at Wallach Art Gallery, where two outstanding proposals from the Columbia University MA in Modern and Contemporary Art: Critical and Curatorial Studies program are selected for exhibition.

To shed skins "not our own" is to loosen the forms that have defined us, and in doing so, to imagine what other bodies and subjectivities might emerge

Across works on paper, sculpture, and performance, Bucher, Horn, and Kimsooja foreground the bodily surface as porous and unstable, made tangible through architectural skins, prosthetic extensions, and strands of hair.

"Skins, Not Our Own" begins with this paradox. What does skin retain? Where does it begin, and where does it end? What happens when the body's outermost layer is peeled away, stretched, or displaced to become a material in its own right?

Through work by Heidi Bucher, Rebecca Horn, and Kimsooja, the exhibition explores the unique nature of the skin, which is intimate and exposed at once. Even as it envelops the body and connects to internal organs, it remains external, open to the world as a threshold where the self meets other.

Don't miss "Skins, Not Our Own," curated by Summer Jimin Park as part of the 2026 "Moda Curates" series, and closing at 6 PM this Sunday, April 12, 2026.

Curated by Erica DiBenedetto, the exhibition closes at 6 pm on April 12.

Open Wed–Sun, 12–6 PM, Wallach Art Gallery is on the 6th Floor of the Lenfest Center for the Arts on Columbia University's Manhattanville campus.
