Nasima Begum

she/her Contact Patron

Nasima Begum is a performance poet, producer, actor and creative practitioner writing about loss, the feminine and spirituality and championing community. Nasima’s journey from Contact participant to Patron has involved membership of the Capital project advisory group Con:Struct, the Creative Experts pool and performances with poetry collective Young Identity, for whom she is now a Trustee. Following a Jerwood Creative Fellowship, collaborations with Manchester Literature and Manchester International Festivals, Nasima is currently developing her first script exploring what it means to be a British Muslim woman in the current political climate, supported by Factory International.

“Contact has been an important part of my journey as an artist and I’m looking forward to supporting the next generation of talent that emerges.”
