Athen Kardashian & Nina Mhach Durban
chapter three

Athen Kardashian and Nina Mhach Durban are a British-Asian artist duo based in London. Their collaborative practice is founded upon an open and ongoing dialogue examining their shared experience of being raised in London by Indian mothers. Stories, food, clothes & objects passed from person to person, across houses, hands & borders, find a home in their work. The feminine diaspora and its link to world building is something the duo dissect, creating environments that reference the domestic and acknowledge but alter the gallery space and its atmosphere.

A recurring question raised by their practice remains; what is sacred? Religious deities and pop icons of the modern world exist side by side, and the home-made and the glamorous encounter. Piracy, age, ownership, love & circumstance all take effect on the work's materials resulting in an articulation of personal and marginalised histories.
