Zahra Mansoor (b. 2000, Karachi, Pakistan) is an interdisciplinary artist working with the mediums painting, sculpture, and digital media, including film. Mansoor received her BFA in Art, Media, and Technology from Parsons Paris (The New School) in 2023, following her high school education at Karachi Grammar School. 

​

Her practice is deeply influenced by her experiences as a woman in Pakistan and her life in various diasporic landscapes, including Paris and New York City. Through her work, she explores themes of femininity, diaspora, fashion, and postcolonialism, often creating public experiences that extrapolate personal themes to broader social and political contexts.

She has also showcased her work internationally in group exhibitions such as "Being Human" at ModA Curations in New York City (2024) and "A Girl Will Return Looking for the Woman She Was" at Galerie D in Paris (2023). She was also awarded a residency at the 59 Rivoli Paris in 2023.
