Athen Kardashian & Nina Mhach Durban (both b. 2000) are a British-Asian artist duo based in London. Their collaborative practice is founded upon an open & 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 & its link to world building is something the duo dissect, creating environments that reference the domestic & acknowledge but alter the gallery space & its atmosphere. A recurring question raised by their practice remains; what is sacred? Religious deities & pop icons of the modern world exist side by side, and the home-made & the glamorous encounter. Piracy, age, ownership, love & circumstance all take effect on the work's materials resulting in an articulation of personal & marginalised histories.
