About the Artists
Suleman Aqeel Khilji was born in Quetta and currently lives and works in Lahore. He is interested in the contradictions and similarities in visuals sourced from different ages. Through his work, Khilji intentionally blurs the lines between fact and fiction and documentation and imagination.

Yasser Vayani has participated in various group exhibitions and was selected to create an installation at the Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hungary, in 2015. He also worked at Vasl Artists’ Association from 2015-2016.
