Tasmina K Majles is a Bangladeshi-born multidisciplinary artist based in Naarm/Melbourne, whose practice explores memory, identity, belonging and lived experiences of diaspora.

​

She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from Curtin University (2007), and a Master of Creative Arts (Painting) from Deakin University (2019). Her work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions, including the 2021 Muslim Artist exhibition at the Islamic Museum of Australia, where she was shortlisted, and the XIII Florence Biennale (2021). Alongside her artistic practice, Tasmina has undertaken collaborative projects with international organisations including UNHCR, UN Global, CDNI and the Edith Wilkins Foundation, contributing to initiatives centred on social welfare and community engagement projects.

​

Rooted in her lived experiences of diaspora, her work reflects on how personal and collective memories shape one’s sense of self and place.  As a first-generation female migrant, Tasmina’s practice delves into the tensions, embodied experiences and affinities that arise from the complex emotions of straddling two worlds — her birthplace and her chosen homeland, and the spaces of belonging that emerge in between. Her work is also guided by environmental consciousness, acknowledging the profound interrelationship between inner self, the external ecosystem and the metaphysical realm. 

 

At the core of her practice lies a belief in the interconnectedness of all living beings — that our individual stories, though distinct, are bound by shared experiences of memory, yearning, and the universal search for belonging.
