Mudassir Sheikh

Mudassir Sheikh is a Berlin-based musician and multidisciplinary artist of Pakistani origin. His practice spans sound, video, performance, text, and radio, engaging with themes of collective trauma, mythology, ecological collapse, ancestral memories, and ways of remembering. Using interdisciplinary methods, he addresses socio-political issues in South Asia—countering amnesia and censorship through sonic and playful resistance. Raised in Karachi, his compositions blend field recordings, instruments, and voice, often presented in immersive installations or collaborative settings. Recent research explores Sufi shrines and water bodies as sites of communal belonging and unseen worlds. He is part of the Chöri Collective and currently a Live Works Fellow at Centrale Fies. He holds an MFA in Media Art from Bauhaus University Weimar, and his solo and collaborative works have been presented at the Istanbul Biennale, Colomboscope, TBA21, and the Oslo Museum.
