Omer Wasim (b. in Karachi to Ishrat) is an intermedial artist whose practice involves queering space to subvert the frames of development, infrastructure, and everyday wars that shape human relationships to cities and nature. His work bears witness to the relentless erasure, violence, and destruction of our times by staying with and thinking through the minutiae of daily life.
