Saba Khan

– Casa Wabi 2025

Community Project

Dot-to-dot Wabi and sun drawings was a project carried out with children who attend the workshops given at the Casa de Cultura in Puerto Escondido. The objective was to create a story, which had to include as main characters, animals of the region and had to be constructed among all the participants. The final result was a book created together, where each child was responsible for the drawing and creation of each of the pages. Each participant was given a copy of the book so that each one could make a personalized cover, using techniques such as collage, drawings and antotipias (pigments created with natural ingredients and veiled with the sun).

Saba Khan was born in 1982, in Lahore, Pakistan and lives and works between Lahore/London. Her interdisciplinary work stretches over the fields of art, ecology, performance, colonial histories which come together through expeditions, research and fieldwork. The work explores the history and politics of water bodies, flow, fluidity-bodies blocking water and bodies moving along water. Her work weaves through the language of memorial, monument and public projects, balancing grandeur, artifice and satire in order to explore the cracks in the structures. Saba has taught at the National College of Arts, Lahore and now teaches at the Chelsea College of Arts, London. Saba founded Murree Museum Artist Residency and a satirical collective ‘Pak Khawateen Painting Club’. She recently exhibited at Swiss Institute, USA, National Museums of Qatar, Doha, 2024, Sharjah Biennial 15, UAE, Sharjah Art Foundation, UAE, 2022, Lahore Biennial 02, Pakistan, 2020.
