Mixed Media Mixtape with Umber Majeed

Creative Time

Artist Umber Majeed shares her multimedia research archive.

Artist Umber Majeed shares her archive of stock videos, advertisements, music videos, vintage graphic design, tourism materials and more. These inform the research for Majeed's ongoing project Trans-Pakistan Zindabad, an imagined revitalization of her uncle’s failed tourism company, ‘Trans-Pakistan’, which brings into focus the contradiction of a transcendence into nostalgia/escapism that seems to be so deeply embedded in South Asian diaspora imagery. The artist will also have merch for sale, a game setup and there might even be a photo-booth!

She received her MFA from Parsons the New School for Design in 2016 and graduated from Beaconhouse National University in Lahore, Pakistan in 2013.
