Narmin Kassam is a Canadian mixed-media artist whose work explores memory, belonging, cultural identity, and collective resilience through layered paper and paint. Drawing on her experience as an African-born South Asian woman and former refugee, she creates textured collages on wood panels using handmade and decorative papers sourced from Japan, India, and other regions. Her recent work examines the quiet strength that emerges through connection, care, and shared presence, exploring how identity and belonging are shaped through relationships. In addition to her studio practice, Kassam creates participatory installations and community-engaged projects that bring together personal stories, collective memory, and cultural experience. Her work has been exhibited across Canada and internationally, featured in international art publications, and is held in private collections worldwide. In 2026, she served as Lead Artist for Illuminated Threads, a large-scale participatory installation created from more than 3,700 donated textiles. She is an Exhibiting Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists.
