Zara Asgher is an interdisciplinary visual artist and educator from Lahore, Pakistan. She graduated from the National College of Arts, Lahore, in 2011. Zara Asgher's practice is influenced by the themes of gender and sexuality and their relationship with the public space. She questions who makes up the public space and who gets to be in it. For her, drawing is an integral part of research, observing movements of the different bodies that occupy these spaces. Asgher was awarded the prize for the 10 Best Works of the Young Artists Exhibition, Day After Tomorrow in 2012, by the Punjab Arts Council. She has participated in group shows in Pakistan, Nepal, Sharjah and India. She was awarded a full scholarship to pursue an M.A. in Nordic Visual Studies and Art Education at Aalto University, Finland.
