Jasleen Kaur
Jasleen Kaur (born 1986) is a Scottish artist, and the winner of the 2024 Turner Prize. She works with mixed-media including installations, sculpture, sound art, and writing, and has a socially-engaged arts practice. Kaur was awarded the prize for her exhibition "Alter Altar", which was on display at Tramway, Glasgow, March - October 2023. Kaur was the youngest nominee on the list. In her acceptance speech for the prize, Kaur wore a Palestinian flag, and urged the Tate and other arts organisations to join artists "calling for a Gaza ceasefire and institutional divestment from ties to Israel".
Kaur is Somerset House Studios resident, and was a recipient of a Paul Hamlyn Foundation award in 2021.
