IMRAN CHANNA
Imran Channa (*in Shikarpur, Sindh, Pakistan, lives and works in Amsterdam) studied at the National College of Arts in Lahore and at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht in the Netherlands. His work deals with the power and politics of storytelling and how the act of storytelling creates information and misinformation. He explores this theme through the lens of archives, architecture, artefacts, film and technology. He uses drawing, painting, moving images, installations and digital technology as a means to explore this mechanism of power and its influence on shaping social consciousness. Imran Channa’s work has been shown worldwide in numerous museums, galleries, art fairs and media art festivals in the Netherlands, the UK, Germany, the USA, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Israel, UAE, Algeria, Hong Kong, Singapore, India and Pakistan.
