Fatima Khalid
Visual Artist, Art Educator, born and based in Karachi, Pakistan. Fatima's work is driven by an interest in human subjectivity across intersections of identity, spaces, body, image and their relationship with visual technologies. I explore these as, constituted "spaces", between historical and contemporary social surfaces. Working mostly through the mediums of Gouaches, water color and acrylics on Wasli paper, highlighting spaces which are collected from Persian and Mughal Miniature paintings.
