Yasmine El Meleegy (b.1991) is an Egyptian artist and sculptor. Spanning sculpture, installation, writing and site-specific intervention.
Many of her projects, including Stephenson Pharmacy and A Cup of Tea with Fathy Mahmoud, unfold through public interaction, positioning the audience simultaneously as material, subject, and author.
Her work traces histories embedded in objects, places, and systems of production. Her ongoing research into Egypt’s porcelain industry explores the making of everyday objects alongside the making of national identity.
Her work has been shown internationally, including solo exhibitions at the Mattress Factory Museum in Pittsburgh and For Space in Basel, and is held in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum and the MOCA Yinchuan Contemporary Art Museum.
