"Constellationscape (Taurus)" Fine Art Print

Based in Toronto, Asma Sultana is a South Asian interdisciplinary diasporic artist whose work explores the physical and cultural ramifications of climate change. By integrating traditional Bengali Nakshi Kantha techniques with organic materials, such as her own hair, she sutures the personal to the ecological. Sultana’s practice is informed by her transcultural movement between Bangladesh, England, and Canada, and her research-based work has been showcased in numerous solo and group exhibitions worldwide. She conceptualises her autobiographical work through distinctive forms of expression, employing her hair and thumbprints as media to investigate her identity within the frameworks of time and space. Sultana has organised and curated numerous solo art exhibitions and has participated in various group exhibitions across several countries. Her work has received attention in both print and digital media and is part of numerous private collections. As a Bangladeshi-British artist, Sultana currently practices as a South Asian diasporic artist in Toronto. She has undergone training in Fine Arts and Art History in Bangladesh, England, and Canada. Furthermore, she pursued a degree in Art History at York University in Canada and at Oxford University in England. Recently, she graduated with a Master of Fine Arts degree from York University, where her research is supported by the SSHRC (Canada Graduate Scholarship).
