This work is inspired by histories, social movements, space, place and personhood. Yasmeen earned Bachelor’s degrees from University of Massachusetts in Anthropology (emphasis in Historical & Collaborative Archaeology, which included field schools with New England indigenous tribal communities); and another in Studio Art with honors, including a Minor in Women’s, Gender & Sexuality Studies. Yasmeen also holds an MFA in Fine Arts with distinction from Pratt Institute.
