Sydnney Margová Islam is an interdisciplinary artist, photographer, and graphic designer based in Minneapolis. Working with painting, photography, and screen printing, she explores connection to self, community, culture, and history. 

Her practice is informed by her Slovak-Bengali background and her passion for visual storytelling as a means of understanding diverse ways of experiencing the world. She examines questions of how meaning is constructed and communicated, as well as the cultural and political systems that shape those processes. Particularly, how visual media engage with these themes and the use of narrative storytelling to document and critique systems of power.

Sydnney is especially interested in collaborative projects that engage with community and foster connection and mutual understanding.  She has a Bachelors of Individualized Studies in Anthropology, Journalism, Studies in Cinema and Media Culture, and Interdisciplinary Design from the University of Minnesota. 

She has worked with Shopify, soona, Trend, Uncommon Retail, Complēre, Fulton Brewing, and maurices.
