Tasmina K Majles is a Bangladeshi-born multidisciplinary artist based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. Working across painting, drawing, textiles, installation and socially engaged art, her practice explores how migration shapes memory, identity and belonging. Drawing on her lived experience as a first-generation migrant, Tasmina examines the emotional and embodied dimensions of displacement and how personal and collective histories connect us to our homelands, communities and the wider ecosystem.
Working primarily on paper while exploring materials such as textiles and wood, she examines how materials behave, interact and generate unique marks, exploring the cultural histories they hold and their capacity for transformation. Her practice draws parallels between material change, lived experience and the processes of adaptation found in nature, exploring the liminal spaces between self, place, the natural world and the metaphysical realm.
Tasmina 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, XIII Florence Biennale 2021 & Montsalvat 2026. 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.
