About
Shammah Salwa is a multidisciplinary artist practising digital photography, photojournalism and documentary cinematography. She lives and works in Toronto with a special focus on the region of Scarborough and North York. Her work is influenced by my ancestral origins from Bangladesh exploring themes of nostalgia, migration narratives and the hyphenated identity. These themes tie into various topics within environmental justice movements such as food in/security, urban agriculture and indigenous land sovereignty.
