Uzair Amjad -The Terrain Between
5/2-23/2/2025
** Welcome to the opening on February 5th, at 18-21! **

The Terrain Between is a series of paintings exploring how history, inheritance, and migration shape identity across generations of a family. It centers on stories from three migrations: my grandparents’ journey from India to Pakistan, my parents’ move from Pakistan to the United States, and my immigration from Pakistan to Finland. What forms of knowledge do these stories generate? How do they influence individual and collective memories? Can these stories bring geographically separated generations closer to distant places, distant times, and ultimately one another? The project inserts stories from the family between the gaps in the imperialist narrative of global migration to reveal new histories and explore alternative social orders.

Bio

Uzair Amjad (b. 1989) is a Pakistani filmmaker and visual artist based in Helsinki. His work probes the intersections of micro-histories and neocolonial frameworks. Amjad cross references the two to expose the contradictions in their perspectives, aiming to make room for new critical interpretations of history.
He holds an MA in Visual Culture, Curating, and Contemporary Arts from Aalto University,
Finland, and completed his filmmaking studies at the Academy of Moving People and Images, Finland

The project is supported by the Kone Foundation and Taike
