Baseera Khan is a New York-based visual artist interested in materials, color, and their economies. From public art installation to sculpture, painting to performance and music, Khan collages the effects of these relationships to labor and family structures, religion, and spiritual well-being. Khan has performed and exhibited at several locations in the past years, sharing this diverse practice. “Painful Arc II, Shoulder High,” a public art commission for High Line Art, NYC, was installed from 2023-24, and “New Leaf,” a permanent public art commission for Help USA, Brooklyn, NY, was installed in 2025. Khan has had several solo institutional exhibitions such as Mass Art Museum, Boston, Massachusetts (2026), the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C. (2023), Brooklyn Museum, NY (2021-22), and a solo touring exhibition at Moody Arts Center for the Arts, Rice University, Houston, TX, and Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, OH (2022-23). Khan mounted recent international solo exhibitions at Niru Ratnam Gallery, London, U.K. (2025), and 10 & Zero Uno in Venice, Italy (2024).
