In Conversation: Yasmine Nasser Diaz

In Yasmine Nasser Diaz’s art, the bedroom is a medium for telling complex stories.

Yasmine Nasser Diaz discusses her installation work For Your Eyes Only.

I’ll never forget our first rave. Outside: nondescript, desolate, deserted. Inside: fog, lights, techno-house, a sea of bodies, so alive—everything vibrating with something I didn’t yet have words for. It immediately felt like a kind of church to us. Everyone was accepted. Total freedom and release—for a few hours, anyway.

—Yasmine Nasser Diaz

The work of Los Angeles-based Yemeni American artist Yasmine Nasser Diaz (b. Chicago) is often set within a domestic sphere. Diaz creates narratives that center acts of resistance and bodily autonomy, convey individual histories, and celebrate global feminist protest movements.
