Farhin Afza is a visual artist whose practice explores themes of memory, home, and identity through a multidisciplinary lens. Her practice is rooted in her upbringing in Bihar Sharif and Delhi, and shaped by her family’s background in the weaving and clothing trade. Her artistic language moves across installation, painting, printmaking, and book-making, often drawing on vernacular aesthetics and material cultures, particularly those rooted in South Asian Muslim domestic life. In her most recent works, she engages with family photographs, household dining practices, and objects of personal history by juxtaposing them with historic and contemporary episodes of violence. With an archival, research-driven, and materially sensitive approach, her practice sits at the intersection of lived experience, experiential storytelling, and ethnography. She sees her art as an act of witnessing — a resistance against erosion of memory and cultural homogeneity.

Farhin holds a BFA in Applied Arts from Jamia Millia Islamia, Delhi, and an MFA in Printmaking and Expanded Media from the S.N. School of Arts and Communication, University of Hyderabad. She has also pursued postgraduate studies in social exclusion, which informs the socio-political Undercurrents in her work. Her works have been exhibited by Goethe-Institut Hyderabad, Glasgow School of Art, Srishti Art Gallery, Arthshila, and Kalasakshi.

She lives and works in Hyderabad.
