| Admin/Biog History | Petherbridge visited Pakistan in Nov-Dec 2005, as part of a British Council sponsored residency as a Visiting Professor and Artist in Residence at Beaconhouse National University, Lahore.
Petherbridge was introduced to the Dean of the School of Visual Arts, Salima Hashmi, by George Michell. Petherbridge and Hashmi worked together to plan the residency; which involved a series of lectures, drawing walks with students, and time for Petherbridge to work on her own drawings.
Petherbridge intended to visit Delhi after visiting Lahore in Jan 2006. However, she ended up returning early to the UK in late Dec 2005, because she was struggling with the pollution, and the social conditions of Lahore. |
