Southbank Centre, Counterpoints Arts by TASNIM MAHDY in London

I’m a multidisciplinary artist and facilitator, born in Scotland and raised in Cairo, now based in London. My creative practice is rooted in storytelling, community, and experimentation — drawing from a rich blend of cultural perspectives and lived experiences. I work across murals, cyanotype printing, illustration, public art installations, and participatory workshops. What inspires me is connection — to people, to place, and to memory. I’m especially passionate about creating accessible, collaborative spaces where people feel safe to express themselves. Whether I’m leading a youth workshop, co-designing a mural with a local community, or producing a site-specific piece, I bring colour, play, and care into the process. My style is bold, layered, and often influenced by nature, mythologies, and microscopic worlds — weaving together hand-drawn textures, pigments, and patterns. I’ve delivered creative projects for Glastonbury Festival, Artichoke Trust, Southbank Centre, V&A Museum, and grassroots community groups, always balancing artistic vision with inclusive facilitation.
