Saba Khan: Riverless Water

This exhibition marks a new chapter in London-based Pakistani artist Saba Khan’s practice, exploring environmental transformation, displacement and migration.

Rooted in South Asian water histories, it features paintings, interviews and an installation examining the impact of the Mangla Dam’s construction in the 1960s, which led to the mass migration of people from Mirpur, Pakistan, to Birmingham.

The exhibition expands Khan’s critical inquiry into how environmental disruption shapes identity and migration, while also building connections with local communities in Birmingham.
