Glasgow-born artist Jasleen Kaur, whose artwork is inspired by her life growing up in Scotland's Sikh community, opened her exhibition to the public on Wednesday at Tate Britain in London.

In her 30s, Kaur has crafted sculptures from gathered and remade objects, which are animated through immersive sound compositions interspersed with her own renditions.

Shortlisted in April alongside three fellow UK artists, Kaur is competing for the prestigious Turner Prize, with an award of GBP 25,000 for the winner and GBP 10,000 for each nominated artist. The winner will be announced on December 3, and the exhibition will run until mid-February 2025 at Tate Britain.
