520 |a This article examines the predicament of Muslim identity in the modern world from the conceptual optics of singularity and unbelonging. These twin concepts are especially fleshed out in the artworks and interviews of Indian-American artist Zarina (1937–2020). Her words and works foreground what anti-colonial philosopher Leela Gandhi calls “minor globalism” and anti-identitarian belonging. Zarina thus highlights the ethics of singularity and the politics of unbelonging as alternatives to the two dominant models of the nation-state form in modern South Asia: composite nationalism and religious separatism. The article both contextualizes Zarina’s body of work in relation to the relevant theoretical conversations and relates the ethical and political implications of her minor globalism to Muslim identity discourses in modern South Asia.
