Yasmeen Abdallah

Yasmeen Abdallah is a visual artist, independent curator, and educator, working at the intersections of contemporary cultures, histories and social justice. Her work spans across scale from miniature to maximal installations. She often works with discarded single-use objects to reflect on environmentalism and social change. Abdallah is also a writer and community organizer focusing on public engagement and democratizing education and access to opportunities as central points in her practice. Her practice examines materiality, reuse, memory, and space. Employing a variety of media, her work extends across sculpture, installation, textiles, painting, collage and social engagement to create immersive, inclusive and tangible experiences. This experiential art invites viewers to connect in various capacities to elevate dialogue and collectivity. Yasmeen has been a visiting artist and lecturer at institutions including Columbia University Teaching College, Children’s Museum of NYC; El Barrio Artspace; Fairleigh Dickinson University; Parsons School for Design; Pratt Institute; Sarah Lawrence College; and University of Massachusetts. She holds Bachelor’s degrees in Anthropology and Studio Art with honors, with a Minor in Women's & Gender Studies from University of Massachusetts; and received an MFA in Fine Arts, with distinction, from Pratt Institute.
