The only art school in the world to boast a miniature department where students learn the painstaking techniques that Mughal miniaturists employed, the college has produced a string of artists who are reinvigorating old forms with post-9/11 themes. Imran Qureshi, a professor of miniature at the NCA, has a solo show in Oxford's Modern Art museum, which includes his delicate rendering of a bearded mullah blowing bubbles.
