Zayaan Khan

Zayaan Khan approaches her practice from a space of care, healing, and intuition, allowing her creative process to be both emergent and generative. As a transdisciplinary artist, she integrates various mediums and techniques to tell stories that reflect struggles and solutions. Her work is deeply rooted in the connections between land, food, and seeds, forwarding sociopolitical, ecological, and spiritual perspectives.

Driven by curiosity, research, and experimentation, she engages with the in-between spaces that shape our collective heritage. Through this, she explores the intersections of environment and community, interrogating the relationships that inform our shared cultural landscape.

As an awardee of the Prince Claus Cultural & Artistic Responses to Environmental Crisis (CAREC) Mentorship Program 2024, she has been focusing and building research on local clay foraged from sites of forced removal, committed to a practice of deep listening and making.
