Umme Farwa graduated with distinction from Beaconhouse National University, Lahore in 2014 with a degree in Visual Arts. She is currently pursuing her Master’s in Multimedia Arts from the National College of Arts, Lahore. Her art practice is mostly performance and video based.

Umme Farwa writes of one of her two performative works for KB17: “My performance will take place in front of a white wall. I plan to ‘prepare’ the wall with the help of an aluminum folding ladder, recreating a perfect page from a school notebook. I will draw all the margins and lines and decorate the page with a pretty border bringing it to a stage where it is ready to be written upon. Then I will leave it be: an empty, perfect page. Without any content, the page, however perfect it may be, is rendered useless.”
