Museumsplatz 5, 3500 Krems an der Donau
In his work, Mohsin Shafi (born 1982) unites two seemingly opposing worlds: that of his cultural roots in Pakistan and the one in which he grapples with his queer identity. The exhibition at the Kunsthalle Krems provides a deep insight into complex issues of global relevance: homophobia, racism, and the restriction of personal freedoms.
Queer identity in the tension between tradition and modernity
As a queer person in Pakistan, Mohsin Shafi must live his sexual identity in secrecy. This is also reflected in his art, which can be divided into two areas: works that can be exhibited in Pakistan and do not address his queer identity, and those that he only shows outside of his homeland. In these works, the artist connects his sexuality with traditional Pakistani culture.
Residency at AIR – ARTIST IN RESIDENCE Lower Austria
As part of the international scholarship program AIR – ARTIST IN RESIDENCE Lower Austria, Mohsin Shafi was a guest in Krems from December 2023 to January 2024.
