Khairullah Rahim works across multiple media, incorporating structures, objects, and time-based media. He received his MFA in Visual Arts from Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University (2023), and is currently an adjunct lecturer at McNally School of the Arts, University of the Arts Singapore.

His research and artistic practice navigate queerness, poz resilience, and working-class vernaculars through strategies of resourcefulness and survival shaped by regimes of surveillance. Critiquing the ethics of legibility and disclosure, his work foregrounds opacity as a critical and protective representational strategy. Through collaborative methodologies, he attends to veiled narratives within his community, examining the entanglements of desire, labour, ambition, resistance, and safety.
