Khushboo

Khushboo (1994, Karachi), lives in India and London UK. Her relocation from Pakistan to India in 2009 increased her fascination with the idea of maps, borders, city limits, and everything related to geographical locations. She uses para-fiction as a means of alternative archiving whilst working with non-traditional cartographic and map making techniques, actual colonial documents and archival objects. The fictional archives created in this process are antagonists to museological practices critiquing the archives and display as reminiscences of colonial practices, while seeking a more inclusive practice.
