Aziz Sohail is an art curator, writer and researcher who has been working in Pakistan for five years. With a degree in Art History from Brandeis University, Boston, he has curated numerous exhibitions in the USA, UK, UAE and Pakistan and was a curator-in-residence at The New Art Gallery Walsall, England, in 2015 and a South Asia Fellow at Cornell University, Ithaca, in 2017. He has worked with organisations such as the British Council and the Lahore Biennale Foundation to build new cultural initiatives and spaces, and written on art for newspapers including Pakistan’s Herald and Dawn, as well as magazines such as Canvas and Harper’s Bazaar Arabia. Through his current research, Sohail is building an archive of cultural and visual production in Karachi from the 1990s through today. His research also grapples with ideas around queerness and desire, and their relationship to borders in current art making and writing in collaboration with emerging practitioners in Pakistan. In September 2018, Sohail will begin undertaking a MFA in Curatorial & Critical Studies at the University of California, Irvine.
