Mariam Suhail’s work stems from the incidental, undocumented minutiae of conversations, media, culture, and the everyday. She employs language from these sources to dissect and re-present what may exist in the spaces between exchanges, ideas, historical events, and daily occurrences, resulting in works in sculpture, video, digital images, text, drawing, and books.

Suhail’s recent exhibitions include Larger than Life-size Raven on a Roof, GALLERYSKE, New Delhi (2024); Inhabitate at Grey Noise, Dubai (2020); Sweet Subjunctive at GALLERYSKE, Delhi (2015); Accidental Excavations at Grey Noise, Dubai (2014); Breakdown of Shorter Concerns (2011); and fig.1.
