Represented and guest artists exhibiting with the gallery.
Shahana Rajani
Shahana Rajani (b. 1987) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the images and landscapes produced where development, militarism and ecological resistance meet in Pakistan. Working with moving image, research and collaboration with affected communities, she examines how infrastructure reshapes land and water and how people remember and resist those transformations. She was the recipient of the inaugural Han Nefkens Foundation South Asian Video Art Production Grant, which supported her film Four Acts of Recovery (2025) and its expanded three-channel iteration, Lines That World a River (2026).
Rohini Devasher
Rohini Devasher (b. 1978) is an Indian artist whose research-intensive practice examines the intersections of the humanities and the sciences. Working across drawing, print, video, sound and installation, she draws on astronomy, observation technologies and collaborations with scientists and amateur astronomers to explore deep time, the cosmos and the ways we perceive phenomena beyond human scale. Her monumental silk installation Latent Fields translates solar phenomena such as sunspots into luminous imagery that moves from the microscopic to the atmospheric.
Sarker Protick
Sarker Protick (b. 1986) is an artist based in Dhaka who works with photography and moving image to explore the layered relationships between landscape, history, ecology and power. His long-term projects observe how places are transformed over time by social, environmental and political forces. His series Dhaka 1217, comprising 135 black-and-white photographs made between 2011 and 2026, documents the transformation of a one-square-mile area around the neighbourhood where he was born and still lives, and forms the basis of a book of the same title.
