Biography
An installation-based and experience-focused practitioner currently working with object, video, atmosphere and constructed space, Jasmine Te Hira’s works explore how we relate, process, experience and feedback individual perspectives within wider environments, communities and structures. She has forged a practice that articulates concepts relating to time, memory and perception through jewellery, video and ephemera.

After undertaking a Certificate of Design and Visual Arts in 2012, Te Hira then completed a Bachelor of Design and Contemporary Arts in 2015, both through Unitec Institute of Technology. In 2020, she studied for a Diploma in Te Reo Māori Language Proficiency at Te Wānanga Takiura o Ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori o Aotearoa.
