- "Running until April 1 2007, Khusra: Stains and Stencils is Shaheen's first gallery based solo show. For this exhibition Castlefield Gallery have teamed up with Shisha, the international agency for contemporary South Asian crafts and visual arts. The show is the last of six Shisha exhibitions in Greater Manchester over a three year period including the recent Beyond the Page: Contemporary Art from Pakistan at Manchester Art Gallery. The exhibition asks us to think about issues of identity, gender, nationality, race and faith in contemporary visual culture and taps into some of the most important debates happening in cultural, political and academic circles now. 'Khusra' is the term for a gay man in South Asia and derives from the term 'khuaja sera', meaning the hermaphrodite or castrated male, but now 'khusra' sits closely with the term 'faggot'. Taking this as his starting point, the khusra community and the he-shes of Lahore are the focal point of this exhibition"--Gallery website.
