Portrait of Inès Elsa Dalal

Inès Elsa Dalal is an artist and educator from Birmingham, currently based in London.

Dalal specialises in documentary photography and the ethics of portraiture.

She is committed to confronting systemic injustice, such as racism and xenophobia.

Born in Nottingham (1990) to a Swiss, Italian mother and a German, Parsi (Iranian-Indian) father; her own mixed heritage informs the tenderness with which she approaches portrait sitters and the communities co-creates with.

Solo exhibition 'Here To Stay' was commissioned by the NHS just before the Windrush Scandal and has been touring the UK since 2018, despite the ongoing pandemic.

Dalal also tutors nationally and lectures internationally.
