Yasamin Khadembashi

Born in 1998, Yasamin Khadembashi is an emerging artist living, studying and working on Whadjuk Noongar country. Her works utilise multidisciplinary modes of creating, focussing on painting, sculpting, collaging, instillation, textiles and tattooing. Growing up in Austrlia from Iranian immigrants, Yasamin understands the experiences facing first and second generation immigrants livung in the diaspora. Her works draw upon the cultural discourses revolving around 9/11, Cronulla riots, the detention of asylum seekers on Manus Island, the 1979 Iranian revolution and the Women Life Freedom Revolution of 2022. Yasamin has graduated with her BCA and is currently completing her Honours in Creative Art at Curtin University. Her works examine the abuse of human, women and queer rights within Iran, magnifying the effects of the revolutions on women and queer liberties, autonomy and freedom, often exploring the isolation, vilification and ostracisation felt among these minorities. Her works have been included in a number of national exhibitions and competitions such as 'Home/Body' at Artsource (2022), the Mosman Art Award (2022), 'Safe Space' at ANUSA BIPOC (2022), Redland Art Award (2022), the Calleen Art Award (2022) and ‘In Spite (of)’ at Nyisztor Studio Fremantle (2025). In 2024, she completed a residency at Midland Junction Arts Centre, which supported her early experimentation with large-scale sculptural painting techniques, that year she also completed an artists in residency at Lake Macquarie City Council (2024). Yasamin’s recent achievements include the 2025 Studio 7 Residency at PS Art Space in Fremantle, where she is currently wrapping a year-long studio residency culminating in her first solo exhibition Dreaming In Farsi. In conjunction with her residency at PS, Yasamin was also awarded a four-month residency at Fremantle Arts Centre (May–August 2025).
