Ayesha Khan

November 13, 2019

Ayesha Khan’s work targets the representation and, more specifically, misrepresentation of Muslim women within media and wider UK society.

Half-Welsh and half-Pakistani, Ayesha studied photography at the University of South Wales and quickly found a need to address the lack of positivity of Muslim women choosing to wear traditional dress and seek out confident and assertive women for her own projects.

Her ‘Standing Up’ series was shown as part of the 2019 Diffusion festival in Cardiff in the Phrame Collective exhibition (of which she is a member) and also in the Senedd in Cardiff Bay.

Our thanks to photographer, musician and artist Ani Saunders for agreeing to speak to Ayesha for this recording. Follow her on Twitter @ani_glass

Hailing from London, Aiyush - or Yushy to his friends - has a keen interest in documenting a wide range of subcultures and, as evidenced by his work to date, isn't afraid to approach people and get up close to create visually stimulating images.
