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.
Yasmin is interested in the notions of culture, self-identity and anthropology. While investigating ideals and traditions close to home, she repeatedly draws upon her own identity through the lenses of gender, religion, and her British-Bangladeshi culture and heritage. An element of her practice focuses on socially engaged photography, working collaboratively with various communities to produce and curate works of art.
A selection of her work is included in prominent permanent and private collections, including the Government Art Collection, The New Art Gallery Walsall and the Birmingham Museums Collection. She has exhibited internationally, most recently at The Las Photo Festival in California, the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, and the Pingyao International Photography Festival in China. She holds an MA in Photography Arts from the University of Westminster and is an Assistant Professor in Photography at Coventry University.
Nilupa is a studio holder at Grand Union, Birmingham.
