Mariam Ghani: Reconstructions and Speculations

Ghani is known for projects that engage with places, ideas, issues, and institutions over long periods of time, often as part of long-term collaborations. These include: critical, curatorial, conservation, and creative work with the national film archive Afghan Films, since 2012, with support from the media archiving collective Pad.ma and a number of international art institutions; the video and performance series Performed Places, ongoing since 2006, in collaboration with choreographer Erin Ellen Kelly and composer Qasim Naqvi; and the experimental archive and discussion platform Index of the Disappeared, initiated with artist Chitra Ganesh in 2004, which has also become a vehicle for collaborations with other activists, archivists, artists, journalists, lawyers, and scholars.
Ghani is currently a visiting scholar at the Center for the Humanities at the Graduate Center, City University of New York; and a fellow at the New York Public Library. In fall 2018, she will take up a faculty appointment at Bennington College.
