Baseera Khan (b. 1980; Denton, Texas)

Baseera Khan’s work can be seen as a kind of Situationist Decolonization. Her process-based approach is meticulous. She uses precious materials to create works ranging from textile and metal sculpture to collage and performance. Baseera’s practice 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.
