Naiza Khan’s visual practice encompasses art making, teaching, curation and writing. Khan trained at the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford, and completed her MA at the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths, University of London (2020). Khan’s multi-disciplinary practice is built on a process of critical research, documentation and mapping-based exploration. Through a range of media, including drawing, printmaking, archival material and film, she brings together ideas of embodiment and ecology. Her work looks at geography as a heterogeneous assemblage of power, colonial history and collective memory. Her practice raises questions about optics and erasure and frictions between old and new infrastructures.
Khan works between London and Karachi.
