Jasleen Kaur
 
b.1986, Scotland.
Lives and works in London, UK.
 
​
IMAGES      CV
Jasleen Kaur explores the malleability of culture and the layering of social histories within the material and immaterial things that surround us. Her practice examines diasporic identity and hierarchies of history, both colonial and personal. She works with sculpture, video and writing.
 
Recent projects include her solo show Alter Alter, Tramway, Glasgow (Scotland), and exhibitions at Wellcome Collection, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Eastside Projects and Hollybush Gardens.

​Kaur has recently been awarded the 2024 Turner Prize, on display at Tate Britain, London through 2024. 

Her work is part of the permanent collection of Touchstones Rochdale, the Royal College of Art, UK Crafts Council, and private collections such as that of S. Davídsdóttir, and the Servais Family Collection.
