Jasleen Kaur, a Glasgow-born Scottish Sikh artist, has been honoured with the prestigious 2024 Turner Prize for her solo exhibition Alter Altar. Her work combines sculpture, sound, and music to delve into themes of community, cultural inheritance, and anti-colonial struggles. Kaur’s innovative storytelling transforms everyday objects into powerful symbols of resilience and identity, exploring the Sikh philosophy of Miri Piri and the migrant experience. The exhibition received acclaim for its profound reflections on memory, history, and personal and political narratives.
