Khushi Nansi studies women’s spaces of disobedience in the pre-modern Islamic world. Through exchanges at board games, she investigates notions of the “unseen” in a thirteenth-century Iberian manuscript*.* Her interests are transhistorical, spanning from medieval al Andalus to modern India and the contemporary. She seeks spaces where special rules obtained, where traces of disobedience remain.

Currently, she is working on a book project on women’s interior lives in Bombay, centred around the culturally ubiquitous medium of jewellery—women’s capital. She has contributed to exhibitions in Toronto, Venice, and Paris. Khushi holds an M.S. from the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Art and Architecture at MIT (2023) and a B.A. (Hons.) in Art History and Labour Relations from the University of Toronto (2021).
