The Discrepancies of Modernity: Women’s spaces and identities in 19th Century Paris and French visual culture.

Heera Gul is a second-year Fine Art and Art History student. Her practice currently focuses on the intertwined colonial histories rooted in her dual heritage identity. She is interested in exploring notions of plurality and otherness, seeking to transgress and interrogate conventional modes of documentation in favor of alternative systems of knowledge and communication. Her work is also oriented around the regenerative use of materials and renegotiating our relationship with waste with an emphasis on DIY and collaborative making practices.
