Sophia Balagamwala (b. 1987) is an artist and curator who explores the interplay between historical events, memories, and fiction. Drawing inspiration from archives, histories, and children’s books, she constructs narratives that blur the boundaries between reality and imagination. Balagamwala has previously worked as the curator of the National History Museum in Lahore, and currently runs the Kurachee Reading Room, a collection of local artist publications formerly housed at the COMO Museum, Lahore (2021–2022), now at the AAN Ideas LAB (ArtSpace and Museum), Karachi. She teaches at the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture. Notable recent projects include participation in the Abu Dhabi Public Art Biennale (2024), Three Tired Tigers at the Jameel Arts Centre (2024), the Art South Asia Project (ASAP) Research Grant (2022), and Artist Commission Award at the London, Asia, Art Worlds Conference, Paul Mellon Centre (2021).
