Dr Nasia Sarwar-Skuse is an editor, a prize-winning writer, an artist, a solicitor and a creative facilitator, with a PhD in Creative and Critical Writing, funded by the Swansea University Research Excellence Scholarship (SURES). Her thesis titled Femilial Cartography: The Hybrid Aesthetic as Decolonial Practice focused on the colonisation of India/Pakistan, decolonisation, migration, and their intersections with memory and gender. Nasia’s practice questions of place, culture, community, politics, and justice through a decolonial lens. Working across installation, film, and text-based media, she merges non-fiction, poetry, academic research, and visual art to interrogate inherited narratives and create counter-histories. Her work frequently engages with archives and museums as spaces of power, sites where she reconfigures dominant histories and recovers suppressed voices.

Her practice is grounded in socially engaged methods, often involving community collaboration and activism to seed dialogue and collective reimagining. Nasia was the lead Artist at St Fagans Museum of History on a major project titled Perspective (s), where she examined archives, collections and storytelling practices through a decolonial lens.
