Excited to announce my very first solo show! Always Awkward opens at Vasli Souza in Oslo, Norway with a vernissage on Saturday 8th February between 1 and 4pm. The show will then run until 8th March. On show will be various self-portraits from 2012-2019, as well as a video and a GIF. Thanks to Vasli Souza for choosing to show my work, and to everyone who has supported me over the years :)

Some Laughing Along The Way
from the series Nice Hair, Shame About Your Face
'Tapping the index and middle fingers of my right hand (the ones that got burned by cooking my nan dinner and have plasters on them) on my lips (start on the right side and work my way to the left side with each tap) and alternating the direction of my eyes from right to left (depending on which finger is being tapped and the direction it is closest to) in time to each syllable of the first chorus of Lately by Metronomy. Exception: On each use of 'Oh' look up and sweep my middle finger back to the right side of my lips.'
It’s two weeks until the opening of Blast! Festival of Photography, Talks and Walks!
Blast! features work by 40 photographers, artists and curators in the 6 towns of Sandwell (West Bromwich, Tipton, Rowley Regis, Oldbury, Smethwick and Wednesbury).
My project You Will Live In This World As A Daughter will be shown in Girl Gaze: Journeys Through The Punjab & The Black Country, UK along with work by Uzma Mohsin, Jennifer Pattison and Andrea Fernandes.
We were all commissioned to make the work by Creative Black Country and Multistory with support from the Nazar Foundation, as part of the British Council’s Reimagine India. The show has been curated by Iona Fergusson.
I had an interview for the project in late 2016 and the work premiered in India last March, but Blast! will be the first time that the show will be in the UK. So this is kind of the last big step for the project...
There will be events at the venue (The British Muslim School, West Bromwich, B70 8NX) on Saturday 25th May from 11am to 1pm, including a poetry reading by Rupinder Kaur (who appears in my photo above) at around 11.15am and then a guided tour at 12pm.
At the same venue will be Dawinder Bansal’s Asian Women & Cars: Road to Independence.
Looking forward to a Girl Gaze reunion and to seeing all the other work in the festival!
