About

Hira Nabi’s latest work is part of Vasl’s residency, the artist explores Gadani’s shipwrecked yard as a site of fractured stories and contesting truths. Her research and work derive from an ongoing preoccupation with labour, networks of capital and movement, human vulnerability and a focus on the environment as a primary site if investigation. This work revisits various and often, contrasting narratives regarding accidents, ownership of ships and ways of existence. Her work contemplates surrealist surroundings in par with quotidian workplace occurrences that remain universally concerned.
