Mahwish Khalil is a Pakistani artist, architectural designer, and interdisciplinary researcher whose work delves into the narratives of the built environment. Her research focuses on alternative modes of storytelling that challenge and deconstruct colonial and post-colonial narratives in urban planning and design. She employs various mediums such as film and drawing to document oral histories and create storytelling platforms for marginalized communities. By investigating the linearity of architectural representation, she interrogates elements such as “edges” and “thresholds” to draw out binaries ingrained within urban landscapes.
