Madiha Aijaz
Madiha Aijaz works with photographs, film, and fiction. Her practice is concerned with how people experience pleasure and privacy in reordered urban spaces. She photographs railroads, devotional towns and public libraries to respond to found situations and conversations. She is also interested in exploring photography in the areas of veracity and theatricality.

Aijaz is currently developing a documentary feature on traveling fairs and performers in Pakistan with co-director Maheen Zia. The film has received support from Locarno’s Open Doors Programme and the IDFA Bertha Fund. Her book on the Hindu temples in Pakistan was published in 2014 (Call to Conscience, Abbasi, Aijaz, Niyogi Books, New Delhi). Aijaz is an Assistant Professor at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, Karachi and holds an MFA in Photography and Related Media from Parsons with a Fulbright Scholarship.
Recent and upcoming exhibitions include the Karachi Biennial, Karachi, Pakistan (2017), 10th International Documentary & Short Film Festival of Kerala, India (2017), IAWRT Asian Women’s Film Festival, New Delhi, India (2015); Urban Flux Film Festival, Johannesburg, South Africa (2012).
