ABOUT THE ARTIST
AMNA WALAYAT
Amna Walayat is a Cork City-based Pakistani-born visual artist whose practice expresses her hybrid cultural experience in Indo- Persian Miniature style of painting. My work reflects on issues of diaspora, gender, trauma, and sexuality, and how values, norms and beliefs are inflected by the female condition.
Walayat studied art in her native Pakistan, graduating from the University of the Punjab in Lahore with an MA in Fine Arts in 2002. She also has an MA in Modern and Contemporary Art History, Theory and Criticism from University College Cork.
