ran from July to October. Ahuja's mythic self-portrait, Generator, was featured. In it Ahuja appears as a goddess in pink robes. Ahuja's work continued to show in group exhibitions throughout 2011 and 2012, appearing twice with Galerie Nathalie Obadiah in Brussels, beginning with the 2011 Armory Show. November 2012 and into the following year Portraiture Now: Drawing on the Edge ran at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, including Ahuja as one of the featured artists. In 2013 Ahuja exhibited at Thierry Goldbery, in New York, NY. In 2014 Ahuja was selected by Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art to be one of the emerging artists from across the United States featured in their exhibition State of the Art: Discovering American Art Now. The exhibition is the result of a 2013 road trip the museum's curatorial team took to research American art of the time by visiting over 1000 artists in their studios, conducting interviews and selecting around 100 diverse artists to present their unique American perspectives in the final exhibition. The exhibition was later shared with other arts institutions, such as Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis, MN in 2016, and Telfair Museums Jepson Center. In the same year, the Minneapolis Institute of Art included Ahuja's work in another show, Marks of Genius: One Hundred Extraordinary Drawings. Feeling isolated and seeking a way to participate and connect in the art world, Ahuja applied for the 2015 Sondheim Artscape Prize, and became a finalist, competing for a $25,000 fellowship and exhibiting work at the Baltimore Museum of Art in Maryland. While she did not receive the prize, her participation in the exhibition led to new friendships and acted as a catalyst to continue pursuing arts fellowships. She would become a finalist for the Sondheim Prize again in 2017, and receive the Guggenheim Fellowship in 2018. Ahuja participated in several more exhibitions through 2015 and 2016, including shows at Tiwani Contemporary in London, England, Baltimore Museum of Art in Maryland, Grand Rapids Art Museum in Michigan, and Silber Gallery at Goucher College in Towson, MD. The Tiwani Contemporary exhibition, titled Mythopoeia, brought together four artists from around the world to explore the theme of myth-making in art as a means of understanding our world and elevating culture. For this exhibition, Ahuja unveiled a new series of self-portraits as 'The Journeyman', which used her characteristic "automythography" to explore the artist as
