This hardcover publication by the Furqaan Ahmed Collection (FAC) has lavish, full-colour spreads of the works of 29 visual artists in the private collection, which address Jinnah as the subject. An important addition to art publications in Pakistan, it seems to push a critical edge in both design and concept. It is minimalist, uncluttered and finely tuned to support the bold visuals as well as the authoritative critique and investigative tone of the contributing writers.Finding Jinnah celebrates fresh directions and experimentation in the specificity of art produced in the personal and political context of Jinnah. FAC is one of Pakistan’s largest collections of contemporary Pakistani art. It is also significant, as the material it generates in the form of publications allows the work to be reproduced broadly, and enables new readings into it by critics, historians and researchers on Pakistani art.In Finding Jinnah, we get multiple readings of the art under discussion. This allows space for this diverse collection to be curated far beyond its ‘market’ presence. The contributing writers — experts on art, history and culture — take difficult positions and address the problematics of the ‘representation/misrepresentation’ of Jinnah in the artistic and national discourse.In the preface, ‘Finding Jinnah to Find Ourselves’, Dr Furqaan Ahmed notes that the “critical essays trace the connections between the imagery of Jinnah, the mythmaking and sacred narratives around him.†In his view, “the power of contemporary art is in its ideas and the conversations that it sparks.â€More significantly, the writers contextualise the subject, providing an interface of artistic practice (the concept, symbolism and the material) and the cultural/political scenario around Jinnah, which includes the commentary that emanates in political commentary, stereotypes and popular imagination.
