Meera Manjit Kaur (1988, Askim) lives and works in Oslo.
Has had an exhibition at Tenthaus, and has been accepted at the Norwegian Sculpture Association’s Sculpture Triennale, and the Autumn Exhibition. In my artistic work, I vary between media such as found objects, photography, installation and performance.
Themes such as multiculturalism, internal war, grief and feminism are at the center of my work, which can often result in creating relational and conceptual works.
