Saima Khan

BA in Fine Art

As a multimedia artist predominantly working with video, installation, and poetry, my practice explores the South Asian diaspora, heavily informed by my own Bangladeshi heritage and VHS family archives of wedding footage. Language and translation are key elements of my work, allowing English and Bengali to co-exist with one another. It is a way of reaffirming an intertwined British Asian culture that exists within my identity and navigating both cultures. My films aim to document the presence of South Asian culture in contemporary Britain, through a ‘diaspora aesthetic’.
