Nasrah Omar

A woman with medium brown skin and straight, chin-length dark brown hair with blunt bangs looks at the camera for her headshot. She wears a black jacket with white stitching and silver buttons, along with a subtle chain necklace. Her makeup includes bold eyeliner and deep red lipstick. The background is softly blurred, showing abstract colorful artwork in tones of pink, orange, and blue.
A vibrant, ceremonial picnic titled Behind The Seen brings together food, textiles, handwritten memories, and symbolic objects. Surrounded by collaborators Ananya, Divya, Jess, Nasrah, Shythira, and Zahra, this gathering becomes a living archive of shared stories, ritual, and care. Neon and traditional elements converge, revealing unseen layers of identity, belonging, and feminine intimacy in public space.

About

Nasrah Omar (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist working with photography, installation, digital media, and collage. Through imaginative world-building, her work reconfigures narratives of visibility, connection, and regeneration; cultivating speculative paracosms of healing. Interweaving threads from the South Asian diaspora, ecology, ritual, folklore, material culture, and technology, she constructs layered visual landscapes that explore pathways to de-colonial futurities—moving through the sensory, simulated, and sublime. Her practice is deeply rooted in the metaphysical and psychical dimensions of space, memory, and migration, Nasrah investigates the unseen imprints of history, honoring ancestral narratives and the complexities of diasporic and third culture existence. She is currently an MA Photography candidate at the RCA.
