Hina Khan’s recent exhibition, ‘No Serahdain’ (‘No Borders’) drew on her family history of forced migration from Pakistan and her own deeply personal ideas around borders and nationalism.

Khan said: "Ireland is a second home for me and I feel Irish Pakistani, Pakistani Irish. I am working on the topic of migration and I'm really connecting this migration toward my grandparents' migration when India and Pakistan were being made. So I'm really interested in how people form the borders and how they divide humanity."
