Artist Bio:

Omama Mahmood is a Pakistani artist (designer, film-maker) unconfined to a single medium. Currently, they are interested in the poetics of understanding what it means to “make with” nature, and observing what “collective decision making” looks like in different circles.

Often relating back to mycelial interconnectedness, Omama’s practice often folds into a meditative structure, engaged in multi-sensory observation, critical reflection, and relation. Inspired by the chaotics of nature – Omama, often with the help of her friends, seeks to engage in the unfolding of narratives and structures that surround her, often taking part in her own unfolding. A practice of presence, questioning and returning to oneself in the present moment. A dance of reciprocity witnessed and becoming. Seeking to return a new understanding to all things.

“... I see my function as quietly destroying myths, even those of my own making, in order to come closer and closer to reality and to accepting reality.”– May Sarton
