Asma Sultana

I am a Bangladeshi-born British interdisciplinary visual artist living and working in Canada. I organised many solo exhibitions and participated in many group exhibitions in different countries. My work is autobiographical in nature. I use the unique signature of my body to explore my identity in time and place. I use my hair as a thread and my fingertips as brushes during this process. I imprint my emotions on different surfaces to express the inimitable chaos of my inner and outer worlds.
