Mohsin Shafi is a Lahore-based practitioner whose work emerges from the restless pulse of South Asia -its silences, contradictions, and intimate histories. Drawing from personal archives, vernacular languages, and regional poetics, his practice engages with memory, desire, and the fragile negotiations of belonging shaped by postcolonial realities.

​

Working across multiple mediums, Shafi explores ways of being and intimacy that exist beyond imposed moral and cultural frameworks, often navigating the tension between visibility and concealment. His workcarries a distinct language of vulnerability, subtle humor, and emotional precision, reflecting on solitude, relationships, and the search for tenderness within constrained social structures.

​

His work has been presented across Pakistan and internationally, including recent projects at Kunsthalle Krems, Queer Museum Vienna, and Bundeskunsthalle Bonn, alongside residencies at AIR Niederösterreich, Atelier Mondial, and 1646 Experimental Art Space.
