Khushi Hussain (born 1996) is a visual artist and sculptor currently based in Lahore, Pakistan. She completed her BFA from the Centre of Excellence in Art and Design, Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, Jamshoro in 2018 where she specialised in sculpture and received a distinction for her efforts. Khushi then went on to pursue and complete an MA ADS from the Beaconhouse National University, Lahore where she was awarded a fully funded scholarship.
Khushi’s art practice deals with memories and the strategy of cameras, which have the ability to take us into the past, and evoke in the audience a nostalgic feeling about the lifestyle back then. Her goal is to show the worth of arguably the most important tool in history, the camera, which brought about a new way to capture and record memories, events, and history and its influence on our personal and social identities. Khushi believes that these advancements have enabled us to capture our moments of joy, love, and sorrow in a way that was not possible before. In her words “Memories are always a special part of our lives, and with every moment we make memories that become the record in our conscious and subconscious minds”. Khushi has exhibited her artworks at various art institutions both locally and internationally such as at Chapter 1 at art Number 123, Athens; DICE Conference, London in 2019; Broadcast Volume II at O Art Space, Lahore; First Sculpture Exhibition at Sambara Art Gallery, Karachi in 2021; Creative Ground: Sculptors Across Pakistan at PNCA, Islamabad in 2022. She has also been interviewed for various media channels and publications.
Her artworks are housed within the permanent collection of the Ambiance Boutique Art Hotels.
