Parvez is a multidisciplinary, conceptual artist and curator. He was born in India and is currently based in Switzerland. His work focuses on the manifestations of identity politics and economic inequalities across the sociocultural structures around us, questioning and critically reflecting on the cornerstone of his work while responding to the associations between identity, the economic power of currency, and the prejudices embedded therein. His artistic and curatorial practice involves translating these thoughts into artworks within an aesthetic framework while posing the question, ''Whose aesthetic?''
His body of work, even if seemingly disparate in form, is tied together with its focus on the politics of identity and economics. He studied medicine and worked in Psychiatry before moving toward the arts.
He has curated many shows in Switzerland, including the Srinagar Biennale Basel. His works have been shown in many countries, including India and Switzerland. He was also the recipient of the Pro Helvetia Visual Art Residency 2024.
Academics
Studied Medicine and then went to work in Psychiatry upon graduating from a Medical school in India in 1990.
He worked at the Central Institute of Psychiatry, Ranchi and the Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences, Delhi.
