Anushka Rustomji is a visual artist based in Karachi. She graduated from the National College of Arts, Lahore with a BFA in 2012. She has been a participant in the Pilotenkueche artist residency in Leipzig, Germany in 2015 and has exhibited her work nationally and internationally. Her practice is influenced by the themes of history and erasure, in reference to colonization and diasporic communities whilst visual vocabulary is informed by ancient Eastern imagery, texts and traditions. Rustomji utilizes the symbolism in texts and myths to form veiled visual narratives conveying ideas of creation and destruction, survival and transcendence, through which she interrogates cultural and historical connotations.
