Veera Rustomji
Veera Rustomji (b. 1992) is an artist from Karachi. Her practice deals with historiographical power structures and religious iconography portrayed through film, costume, and paintings. She holds a BFA from the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture (IVS) and an MA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Arts at the University of the Arts London (UAL), where she was awarded the UAL Postgraduate International Scholarship. Veera is the recipient of the 2021–2022 Mead Fellowship, for which she produced a body of documentation capturing the erasure of island life and coastal heritage within the Indus Delta. Her site-specific investigations coexist alongside literary and community-based archives from public and private collections in Karachi. Veera is currently a faculty member and co-director of the Urban Repository Archive (URA) at the Department of Fine Art, IVS, supported by the Art South Asia Project (ASAP).
