Jasleen Kaur

"Be Like Teflon" was installed at Copperfield Gallery, London, and was Kaur's first London solo show. The exhibition included a film Ethnoresidue, and a book Be Like Teflon.^[13] The book was first published in 2019, and expands the form of a recipe book and "uncovers the untold, hidden herstories of Indian women living in Britain commissioned by Panel and Glasgow Women’s Library".^[14][15][16]

Kaur was commissioned by Touchstone, Rochdale, to create work inspired by their archives.^[17] Kaur collaborated with local South Asian women and gender non conforming people to create Gut Feelings Meri Jaan, a series of films which explored "the voices of migrant communities within the social history of Rochdale which have historically been marginalised and misrepresented".^[2][18] The art historian Alice Correia collaborated with Kaur to publish a book of the same name, reflecting on some of the themes of the exhibition.^[19]

"Alter Altar" is a multi-media installation work, with "sculpture, photography, sound and writing", first shown at the Tramway in Glasgow in 2023.^[20] The assemblage includes "family photos in Irn-Bru resin, tracksuits", and a Ford Escort covered with an "enormous hand-crocheted doily".^[21] Kaur has said that the car is a "representation of my dad’s migrant desires".^[20] The sound element of the piece was created with the Welsh singer and teacher Marged Siôn.^[21]

The work was redisplayed at the Tate Britain Turner Prize exhibition in 2024.^[22] The Turner Prize judges commented on the "considered way in which [Kaur] weaves together the personal, political and spiritual in her exhibition".^[1]

Kaur lives and works in London.^[10]
