Rupinder Kaur Waraich (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, performer and storyteller based in the West Midlands. Working across poetry, theatre, film and performance, she creates intimate feminist work exploring the intersections of body, language, memory, sexuality, spirituality and belonging. Guided by curiosity, her practice traces the connections between myth, lived experience and cultural inheritance, exploring art as a space for remembrance, resistance and transformation. Her debut poetry collection, Rooh (Verve Poetry Press, 2018), was followed by Tigress with Wings (Seren Books, 2026). Across all forms, her work is driven by an ongoing exploration of the artistic self as both vessel and reclamation.
