Born in Dhaka, Bangladesh, she now lives in London. Her works have been shown in numerous exhibitions around the world, including MUMOK, Vienna (2008); the Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, D.C. (2008); the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (2007); the Biennale Seville (2006); the Venice Biennale (2005); and the Hammer Museum (2005). She was a nominee for the Tate Gallery's 2008 Turner Prize and is the UCLA Art Council Chair for 2008-09.
