Iftikhar Dadi & Elizabeth Dadi
  While based in the United States, the Dadis draw much of their inspiration from the streets and popular culture of Karachi, Pakistan. Their practice is vast in scope — tackling themes ranging from the postcolonial condition, belief, ethnicity, violence in the exercise of political power, to the consumption of global media and visual culture. Their work is often realised as site-specific installations, photographic prints, multi-media objects and light boxes. They frequently collaborate with artisans to create large-scale installations that blur the imaginary lines between fine art, folk art and popular entertainment.

The Dadis have shown widely, including at the XXIV Bienal de Sao Paulo, Brazil (1998); 3rd Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, Brisbane, Australia; the 1st Fukuoka Asian Art Triennial, Japan (1999); 'Let's Entertain: Life's Guilty Pleasures', at Walker Art Center, Minnesota; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (2001-2002); Liverpool Biennial, UK, (2002); DETOX, Norway and Sweden (2004-2005); ‘Fatal Love’, Queens Museum of Art, New York (2005); Inaugural Exhibition, National Art Gallery, Islamabad, Pakistan (2007) and ‘Where Three Dreams Cross: 150 Years of Photography from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh’, Whitechapel Gallery, London (2010). Their work is included in Fresh Cream (Phaidon Press, 2000), as among 100 important emerging global artists.
