Baseera Khan

Baseera Khan’s work can be seen as a kind of Situationist Decolonization. Her process-based approach, which employs works on paper, sculpture, book making, audio, and performance, continually opens itself to new avenues of inquiry, performing patterns and repetitions of emigration and exile shaped by economic, social, and political global change. Drawing from personal and collective experiences as an Afghani/ Indian-American queer femme, Khan explores the complexities of her own intersectional identity while refusing the superficial assumptions projected on her from all sides of the political spectrum.
