Ayshe-Mira Yashin is a lesbian artist currently studying Illustration at Camberwell College of Arts in London. Her art practice primarily consists linework and ink illustrations, risograph printing, bookbinding and tarot. She is interested in exploring themes of queer love, ecofeminism and witchcraft, celebrating raw feminine power through an empowering representation of women's bodies in a matriarchal world. Her art is grounded in her part of the Earth, often exploring queer and matriarchal goddess archetypes from her ancestral regions. Her Sapphic Utopia Zine was selected for display by Tate St Ives for the Queer and Feminist Zine Library, and her art has also been exhibited at the Koppel Project in London, and at the IMT Gallery with Naturally Not Binary. Her work has also been exhibited at the Courtauld’s “Tongue in Trees” exhibition, Queercircle’s “A to Zine” show, and “Do You Buy This?” at Ugly Duck.
