MENAL BANO

Resident January 2024

Menal Bano is a visual artist based in Pakistan. She graduated with a BFA in 2020. She is an urban flaneur with a love for exploring, singing and capturing emotions in visual forms. Her work responds to the daily state of affairs that shape our perceptions particularly focusing on how gender shapes our experiences of urban space. Through painting, she explores spaces in a conscious practice of experiencing the city in a way that is both personal and political, documenting and capturing the narratives and emotions of the spaces around her. She uses colour as a primary medium to capture the essence of the moment which communicates a complex range of feelings through marks and gestures.
