Yaminay Chaudhri, MFA’11

Yaminay uses a range of media in her practice to unpack architectures of aspiration in contemporary South Asian cities. Her work moves across the personal and collective, house and city; linking expansive urban development and middle-class aspiration with the shrinking of the commons. The arc of her work has been focused on contentious urban space, incubating several experiments in collectivity and collaborative production, starting with the formation of Tentative Collective in Karachi (2011-2017) and Karachi Beach Radio (2018-present).
