The Exhibit, on MTV and the Smithsonian Channel, introduced America to the wonderful, brilliant Baseera Khan, and she joins Studio Noize to talk all about it. Baseera has been making her performances, sculptures, and installations for years, and her work explores materials and their intersections with identity. She talks about being on the show, her approach to exploring materials, and her life's many facets. We discuss her solo exhibition, I Am an Archive, at the Brooklyn Museum and the ways that experience changed her view of her work and herself. We learn more about her psychedelic prayer rugs, her upcoming project for Highline Park in New York, and some of the work from The Exhibit. Listen, subscribe, and share!
