Naiza Khan is an established contemporary artist who lives and works between London and Karachi. She studied at the Ruskin School of Art, Oxford and is currently an M.A. candidate at the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths College, London. Her work has been widely exhibited internationally, and is in a number of public and private collections. Khan was instrumental in setting up the Vasl Artists’ Collective, Karachi and her practice encompasses teaching, curation, research and writing. She has been awarded several artist residencies, and in 2013 she received the Prince Claus Award in recognition of her exceptional initiatives and activities in the fields of art and culture. Trained as a printmaker, her practice extends across a range of media including oil painting, drawing, video and more recently, the performative speech act. Khan’s early concerns with the politics and aesthetics of the female body are now rooted to the embodied experience of geography, exploring the continuity and disjuncture between different terrains and their entanglements.
