Naiza Khan is a visual artist, who works with a range of media including drawing, archival material and film. The work for The Drawing Centre, NY auction is part of a series of drawings that I began in 2017, titled Objects from the Deep. This work explores the layers of drawing, the site of the shipwreck and the compression of time. I am interested in archives of weather history, the monsoon and its relationship to empire, the circulatory of objects in museum collections and histories of migration. For Khan, drawing is a conceptual tool, for observation and witnessing. 

 

Recent exhibitions include Sharjah Biennial 15: Thinking Historically in the Present; 14th Gwangju Biennale: Soft and Weak like Water, (2023). In 2013, she received the Prince Claus Award for her contribution to social change through art and culture. Khan represented Pakistan at the 58th Venice Biennale (2019) with her solo project Manora Field Notes. Khan trained at the Ruskin School of Art, University of Oxford, and completed her MA at the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths College, London 2020.
