Vasl Artists’ Association is pleased to introduce Hasnain Noonari (b. 1989) as the resident artist for its single-artist research residency, Resonance of Muradabad.

A University of Karachi alumnus practicing in the city for over a decade, Noonari’s practice explores architecture, memory, and displacement, translating fragmented experiences into sculptural forms that reflect on belonging, impermanence, and the materiality of memory.

During this residency, Noonari investigates Karachi’s fading brass and copper craftsmanship, introduced by master artisans who migrated from Moradabad in 1947. Through critical mapping, oral histories, and creative documentation, he archives these vanishing craft traditions, exploring the intersections of labor, urban space, and material culture.
