Mohammed Z Rahman (he/they) is a British-Bengali visual artist and writer based in London. His work puts socio-political and personal histories in conversation through the lens of the domestic. Mohammed’s visual output includes illustration, painting and zines. His literary output includes short stories, poetry and essays.

With a background in social anthropology (BA, SOAS), Mohammed approaches art as an intimate and political force probing and mutating the ordinary. Drawing on dreamscapes, globality, queerness, biography and socio-historical perspectives, he creates work that celebrates his communities’ internationalist dreams, disrupts violent power structures and makes peace with unspeakable chaos. 

 

Mohammed's debut solo show of paintings, City of Burrows, was at Phillida Reid in Spring 2023. He has also worked on projects with institutions including Artsadmin, Metroland Cultures, the Goethe Institut, UCL Culture, Tate Modern, the Smithsonian Institute and V&A East. Mohammed has also enjoyed working with grassroots arts organisations including clavmag, Writing Our Legacy, Failsafe Magazine, Skin Deep Magazine, Aire Place Studios and The Willowherb Review.
