About
Naira Mushtaq is a multi-disciplinary artist and educator based in London. Ms. Mushtaq received her masters from Central Saint Martins as a recipient of the International Vice-Chancellor Scholarship. Her practice explores the deconstruction and re-framing of found photographs and film archives, focusing on history, memory, and social commentary stemming from a desire to understand memory. Working primarily in painting, she engages in the stories, memories, spaces, and objects that relate to family histories and the histories of the immigrant settlers.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
The works are collectively looking at modes of looking. In these pieces, the television plays a vital role in communication and that of an object that communicates wealth. This is part of an ongoing investigation of how we consume information as images and its role in rewriting how we remember.
