Utilizing archival sources, this book examines the formation and evolution of the National College of Arts (NCA) in Lahore, a pivotal institution shaping the art, architecture, and design landscape of contemporary Pakistan since the 19th century. Theoretical analysis reveals how the NCA, as a bureaucratic entity, has influenced the development of design schools, museums, and artistic practices in both British India and Pakistan, initially under the influence of British art education from South Kensington. The study traces the institution's history from its metropolitan European roots during the British colonial period through the American restructuring of art education administration and pedagogy in the early years of independence. It explores how frameworks of art history and anthropology have been used to construct and objectify Pakistani art and artists. By deconstructing these disciplinary frameworks, the book sheds light on how imperial and nationalist discourses have intersected to influence and redefine artistic and cultural identities within Pakistan.
