Present Elsewhere

Present Elsewhere is a long-term collaborative project by Lahore-based artist Rashid Rana that seeks to examine the limitations of occupying a present that is assumed to be singular by imagining the intersection of history and fiction. The first manifestation of the project takes place as part of Asia Art Archive's 15 Invitations programme series in the form of a download-and-printable e-dossier.
