Jaffrin is a Welsh Bangladeshi multidisciplinary artist and writer based in Cardiff. Her written work consists of prose and poetry as well as spoken word, exploring themes of identity, mental health, religion and culture.
Brought to life through a poetic visual directed by Liara Barussi, Jaffrin’s poem, Faith إيمان, draws heavily on her experiences, exploring religion, rituals and the battles between ‘deen’ and ‘dunya’ (religion and real life).
