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 memory, and practices of remembering. Using interdisciplinary methods, he addresses socio-political issues in South Asia, countering amnesia and censorship through sonic and narrative resistance. Raised in Karachi, his compositions weave field recordings, instruments, and voice, often presented in immersive installations or collaborative contexts. His recent research explores Sufi shrines and water bodies as spaces of communal belonging and unseen worlds.

Sheikh is a member of the Chōri Collective and was a Live Works Fellow at Centrale Fies. In 2025, he received the Berlin Senate Research Stipend for Visual Art. His solo and collaborative works have been presented at the Istanbul Biennale, Colomboscope, TBA21, and the Oslo Museum.
