Maryam Wahid
Maryam Wahid (b.1995, Birmingham) is an artist who uses photography to convey her identity as a British Pakistani woman. Through her deeply rooted family history and the mass integration of South Asian migrants within the UK, her photographs explore womanhood, memory, migration and the notion of home and belonging. Her awards include accolades from Format Festival, Photoworks and The Magenta Foundation. More recently she was awarded ‘Portrait of Britain 2021’ by British Journal of Photography for her photograph, ‘Halima Jabeen in her front garden’. Wahid’s work has been featured by The Royal Photographic Society, The Guardian, The Financial Times, Wellcome Collection, The Telegraph and Digital Photographer Magazine. In 2020 she featured on the BBC’s Great British Photography Challenge with Rankin. www.maryamwahid.com
