He has been a curator-in-residence at The New Art Gallery Walsall, England (2015) and the Nepal Picture Library (2019) and was part of the Curatorial Intensive South Asia 2018 program at Khoj in New Delhi. He has worked with organizations such as the British Council and the Lahore Biennale Foundation to build new cultural initiatives and spaces.
