Defined by a nomadic existence and dividing his time in multiple cities between Europe and the Middle East, Quraishi consciously examines the dynamics of migration, dispossession, and cohabitation within the highly rigid socio-political spheres of imagined communities. While remaining inside the contours of the visual arts context, he freely plays with the tensions between the complexity of the real and our longing for simplicity. His research is rooted in an experiential search of otherings concerning shifts between accepted citizens and non-citizens in our surveillance-driven culture.

Quraishi has created site-specific works for spaces and institutions across the globe, such as Documenta 14, Kassel; Museo Nacional de Arte, Mexico City; Kochi-Muziris Biennial India, Kerala; National Museum of Singapore; 4th Baku Biennale, Japan Foundation Tokyo; and Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, to name a few.
