Nilupa Yasmin
Pushing the boundaries between photography and craft, Yasmin’s work explores themes such as the grieving process and the passing down of textile-based knowledge. The artist draws on her Bangladeshi heritage to create projects that are often participatory or exist as public installations.

Nilupa Yasmin (b.1995) is an award-winning artist and educator with a primarily lens-based practice. She explores the principles of art and craft and the expanded materiality within photography. The artist is interested in the notion of culture, self-identity, and anthropology. Whilst investigating ideals and traditions that are close to home, she repeatedly draws upon her own identity through gender, religion and her British Bangladeshi culture and heritage. An element of her practice focuses on socially engaged photography, she works collaboratively with various communities to produce, and curate works of Art.
Yasmin’s work is included in many permanent and private collections including Government Art Collection, The New Art Gallery Walsall and Birmingham Museums Collection. She is Lecturer in Photography at Coventry University and recently completed her MA in Photography Arts from University of Westminster.
