Residencies include Brooklyn Art Space (2014), Wave Hill’s Winter Workspace (2015), a full artist fellowship to The Vermont Studio Center (2016), and the Bronx Museum’s AIM program (2016).

She has performed numerous venues including The Noguchi Museum, Dixon Place, and Smack Mellon.
Working at the intersection of sculpture, performance and filmmaking, Asif Mian explores the imprint that masculinity, competition, spirituality and violence has on contemporary culture. His recent work reconfigures religious, sports and societal rituals to overlap and intersect with each other.
