Nermin Habib is currently an artist in residence at The Art Station in Muharraq, Bahrain. A multidisciplinary artist, she navigates the spaces between creative strategy, filmmaking, photography, and ceramics. As a cultural nomad, her work reflects an ever-evolving dialogue between disciplines, traditions, and contemporary expression.

Before fully dedicating herself to ceramics, Nermin built a career as a creative strategist in the advertising industry and a brand strategist in tech. Among her most remarkable projects was working on NASA campaigns during her tenure at Google. She also earned accolades in filmmaking, with her short film Cairo Soul winning multiple awards, including honors from Global Shorts and Best Shorts in Best Editing and Award of Excellence. Cairo Soul gained further recognition as the opening frame of Pharrell Williams’ music video Freedom features a clip from the film.

With an MFA degree from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, Nermin’s artistic practice is rooted in the concept of the “in-between,” exploring the spaces where cultures converge, identities evolve, and ideas transform. This philosophy continues to shape her journey as she transitions into a full-time career as a ceramic artist.

Ceramics has become a sanctuary for Nermin—a tactile medium to express the nuanced layers of her life’s journey. Her work blends tradition and modernity, celebrating the beauty of life’s in-between moments through surface design, texture, and form. Today, her practice centers on storytelling through clay, merging her rich background in visual storytelling with the timeless craft of ceramics. She remains dedicated to pushing creative and cultural boundaries, using her work to foster dialogue and innovation in the arts.
