BIO

Jannat Hussain is a London based interdisciplinary artist and creative facilitator. She holds a MA and BA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins. Her practice orientates the space between internal realities and outward expression, where her close observation of the self and interpersonal moments translates highly emotive responses.

Her current concerns lie in unpacking different forms of intimacy, while exploring clay, sculpture, and performance art together. Hussain has previously made paintings, textile works, installations and video works, resulting in a visceral manifestation of cross-cultural, spiritual, and socio-political considerations. Hussain’s work is experiential, operating on the erudition of feeling. It comprises of extrapolating moments in her life that are worthy of rendering, to map her emotional landscape, or better understand the world(s) around her.

She has exhibited in various gallery and public settings, including the Tate Britain, V&A, Albany Theatre, and was part of the first student led show at The Lethaby Gallery. Some of her latest exhibitions include one of the largest curated events taking place during London’s Frieze week, where she showed a 20-piece sculpture at The Factory Project. 

Hussain is also truly passionate in her belief that people are all profoundly influenced by the quality of their art experiences. It not only enhances their problem-solving, thinking and communication skills; it opens them up to new ways of seeing and promotes a wider cultural, creative, and intellectual growth. Through her practice and by taking a holistic approach, she continues to seek new ways of encouraging creativity within communities and academic settings. She currently works as a Creative Programme Coordinator & Facilitator for an arts and mental health charity.
