Tasmina Khan Majles is a Bangladeshi-Australian multidisciplinary artist based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia.
She has a Diploma in Arts from Monash College 2004, Bachelor of Arts (Graphic Design) from Curtin University 2007 and a Master of Creative Arts (Painting) from Deakin University 2019. Since then, Tasmina has exhibited in multiple group and solo exhibitions, including 2021 AMA at Islamic Museum Of Australia & 2021 XIII Florence Biennale. She has also done several collaborative projects with international organizations like UNHCR, UN global and Edith Wilkins Foundation for social welfare causes.
Tasmina's creative practice rigorously interrogates the multiplicity of human perspectives and the intricate interplay between nature, the subliminal, and the constructed realities we inhabit. Drawing from her lived experiences in diaspora, she engages with critical themes of transnational identity, assimilation, and self-realisation, particularly as they pertain to her identity as a first-generation female immigrant. Thus, her work often depicts the complex emotions of straddling two worlds — her birthplace and another of her chosen homeland.
