About The Artist


Anushka Rustomji (b. Karachi, 1989) is a visual artist and educator. She currently lives and practices in Lahore, Pakistan.) Anushka Rustomji's practice is influenced by the themes of history, displacement and erasure, in reference to colonization and diasporas of minorities within the global South. Her visual vocabulary is informed by ancient Eastern imagery, texts and traditions. She utilizes the symbolism in texts and myths to form veiled visual narratives, conveying ideas of creation, survival and transcendence. Through such imagery she makes cultural and historical connotations, ultimately leaving the interpretation of meaning up to the viewer.
