Selma Selman (b. 1991, Bosnia) is an artist and activist from a Roma community whose work draws heavily on her personal experiences to inform her internationally-recognized artistic practice. Selman is known for creating works that challenge stereotypes and critique oppressive systems. Her Roma heritage and her family’s background in collecting and recycling scrap metal deeply influence her art, particularly her use of industrial materials and references to labor, but also her personal history, issues of child marriage and the role of women in Roma communities and education. Selman’s aim is to break down the prejudice which keeps pushing down her community to the lowest common denominator, denying its right to self-expression. Selma is the founder of Get The Heck To School, an organization that aims to empower Roma girls around the world facing poverty and social exclusion by encouraging them to pursue their studies.
