About the artist
Baseera Khan’s (born in Denton in 1980) artistic practice deals with the social and political conditions that shape our sense of self. Inspired by her experiences as a femme American Muslim, their work focuses in particular on issues of cultural displacement, integration, and alienation. Incorporating references to capitalist conditions, especially American pop and consumer culture, with an eye and ear toward postcolonial structures, Khan develops works that question present-day ideologies from a critical standpoint.
