Yasmine Shihab is a multimedia artist, environmentalist, and multilingual educator based in Queens, New York. Blending humor, nostalgia, and kitsch, Yasmine’s work explores social topics such as climate change, diasporic identity, and generational trauma. Yasmine’s work is informed by her upbringing as a multi-ethnic Arab American woman living in diasporic communities across the US.

Yasmine has spent the past 5 years working as a teaching artist in the ceramic studio at Hunter College in New York City, where she helped facilitate undergraduate ceramic courses, uplifting fellow young artists in the community. This experience has allowed Yasmine to gain expertise in ceramic studio maintenance and management, including kiln firings, clay production, etc.
