Rory Midhani

Rory Midhani is a visual artist making cardboard dolls, high energy murals and narrative drawings. His work depicts Queer and Trans people- people who are continually struggling with existing in heteronormative society- living their lives and loving it. 

“His drawings, murals and cardboard scenes take an affectionate, comedic peek into Berlin’s darkrooms, shedding light on that “grimy” unknown that outsiders discuss with excited reverence and ignorance. His pieces are a celebration of Queer cruising culture and the minutiae of Berlin’s unique club landscape.” Andrew Cottrill, Berlin Loves You
