Press Release
Recalling the memory of delivering a school presentation on where her family is from, Naqvi unpacks early feelings of discomfort about how to perform her cultural identity for a Canadian audience. In this new work she questions the early policies of multiculturalism and relates them to the migration restrictions being imposed on newcomers today. Her own migration to a settler-colonial nation intersects with this rhetoric, explored here through personal memory, found family photographs, tourism images and news articles.
Rajani explores practices of drawing and lineages of representation through which coastal communities in Karachi, Pakistan remain connected to sacred river ecologies amid infrastructural violence and erasure. Through moving image, drawing and printed matter, Rajani brings together community-based practices and ancient pedagogies of drawing river maps, painting sea murals and making talismans as ways of maintaining connection to disappearing worlds.
