Maryam Jafri (b. 1972, Karachi, Pakistan; based in Copenhagen and New York) is a research-driven multimedia artist and educator whose films, photographic tableaux, performance and sculptural installations examine the visual culture of political economy, capital and colonial imaginaries. Her projects such as Independence Day 1934–1975 and Automatic Negative Thought deploy archival triggers, conceptual tableaux and filmic montage to expose systems of representation shaping labor, identity and capital.
