About the artist

Nilupa Yasmin

Nilupa Yasmin 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.

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.

A selection of her work is included in many permanent and private collections, including the Government Art Collection, The New Art Gallery Walsall and Birmingham Museums Collection. Most recently exhibiting internationally, at The Las Photo Festival in California, the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad and the Pingyao Photo Festival, China.
