who is yasmina?

Yasmina Seifeddine is a cultural worker, project coordinator & community organizer based in London. Belonging to the Lebanese diaspora and orienting towards Bilad al-Sham, her practice attempts to support the visions of BIPOC & marginalised communities leading liberatory movements through facilitating futurist workshops, including her recent projects T.O.O.L. Shed and Cultivating Homeland(ing).

Being largely inspired by a framework of critical hope, and hope as a praxis, Yasmina believes in creating work with intention and vocation. Today we are watching the world be ravaged by insipid imperial architecture and capitalist motives. Having learnt so much from the wise words and radical lenses of many great abolitionist writers, decolonial knowledge-keepers, and BIPOC/Southern feminists, Yasmina hopes to create work with and for the communities who are stewarding movements in the name of liberation, spatial justice and care-oriented worlds.

Her work in London spans cultural & third sector organisations like Mosaic Rooms, Soanes Centre, Akwaaba and more. It is through these diverse spaces that she is constantly exploring entry points for artists to enable spatial justice, decentralised urban systems from London to Beirut, and histories of liberation movements while supporting maintenance of community spaces and programming on de/anti-colonial knowledge sharing.

Yasmina primarily works on hand-drawn and oil paint portraiture, and mixed media collages to convey messages relating to justice, world-(un)making, and Middle Eastern communities. Otherwise, Yasmina enjoys water-based mediums and fine-line penwork, and in her free time, she experiments with ceramics, printmaking and film photography.

She has recently completed a master’s program in Building and Urban Design in Development at the Bartlett’s Development Planning Unit (DPU) at University College London (UCL). Before this, she completed her undergraduate degree in Human Geography and Middle East Studies in so-called Vancouver, Canada as an uninvited guest and diasporic settler on xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) lands.
