Chahat Ahmad is a Pakistani visual artist currently based in London. Her practice engages with cyborgian gender augmentation and South Asian mythologies, exploring the relationship between tangible diction and ephemeral virtual spaces.
Working primarily in digital design, animation and cyanotype, Ahmad approaches making as a form of gender catharsis and mythopoesis: using image-making to reimagine trans futures beyond colonial, medicalized, and normative frameworks.
Beyond the studio, she is active in queer cultural organizing, tattooing, and competitive video gaming.
