Queen of Arts was founded by Tasnim Siddiqa Amin in 2016 in response to the lack of representation in theatre. Based in East London, the company tells radical stories—past and present—that cross time and place. With a focus on artist wellbeing, interdisciplinary storytelling, and intersectional feminism, Queen of Arts creates work that challenges, disrupts, and reimagines. Recent productions include The Final Trumpet (2024), exploring a mother and daughter’s journey through a Bangladesh flood, and Knotted (2023), a play about two Muslim schoolgirls falling in love, presented at A Season of Bangla Drama festival.
Tasnim Siddiqa Amin (she/they) is a queer, working-class Bangladeshi-British theatremaker, performer, and writer. Tasnim studied Politics, Philosophy, and History at St. Andrews and Birkbeck. Her work is rooted in anti-racism, postcolonialism, and intersectional feminism, blending research with lived experience to create urgent, thought provoking work.
Her recent directing work includes In’a Suit You (2025) for Blemme Fetale, and she performed Scenes of Mourning (2024) at the Albany Theatre as part of Haramacy with Commun. A regular spoken word performer, Tasnim has explored themes of resistance, power, and Palestine with Tamasha Theatre Company, Ordinary Stories, and Sisterhood at Root 25.
