rabeeha adnan - bio
Rabeeha Adnan (b. Lahore, PK) is an interdisciplinary artist working with projection mapping, sound, text and installation through site- and condition-specific body of work. Central to their work is an exploration of institutional power dynamics and spatial semiotics which inform their ongoing investigation into ‘choreographies of power’ that occur when people encounter their work. Viewer choreographies are prompted by the desire to engage with the work and, in effect, embody what the work is trying to communicate. They examine power dynamics within social institutions by questioning our use and understanding of language(s) and ways in which we encounter it, psychogeographies, and bureaucratic and infrastructural systems.
Rabeeha received their MFA in Sculpture + Extended Media with a full ride scholarship from Virginia Commonwealth University (2024, Richmond, VA) and their BFA from National College of Arts (2021, Lahore, Pakistan). They presented their work at Southern Survey Biennial II by Project Row Houses, (2024, Houston TX), Lagos Biennial (2024, Lagos, Nigeria) and Karachi Biennale (2022, Karachi, Pakistan). They were a resident artist at Soma Summer in 2023.
