The Cyphers

The Cyphers is Hajra Waheed's first UK museum solo exhibition and expands upon Still Against the Sky, a recent presentation at KW, Berlin.

The exhibition continues Waheed's ongoing research into what has been described as 'our current aerial occupation,' highlighting the ever increasing militarisation of the sky, where the circulation of military drones and surveillance technology extends over everyday life, often with lethal consequences. Against this backdrop of borderless spatial power games, Waheed’s drawings, collages, videos and photo-based works emerge in the form of archives, fragments and field notes. The materials the artist enlists construct new stories about unstable histories.
