Zarina Bhimji was born in 1963 in Uganda. She works across a range of media – from installations to photography, from film to sound – and presents her viewers with an archaeology of space.

Zarina’s work has been shown extensively both in the UK and abroad and her solo shows include Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago (2009); Haunch of Venison, Zurich and London (2006-07); Tate Britain, London (2003). Her work has also been shown at 29th Bienal de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil (2010) and Who Knows Tomorrow, Nationalgalerie im Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, Germany.
