Juliana Yasin (1970–27 August 2014) was a Singaporean contemporary artist and curator whose practice spanned painting, installation, video, and performance art.[1][2] Her works examined notions of identity, subjectivity, and community practices.[2][3] Pedagogy and research further complemented her artistic practice,[2] with Juliana having taught fine art at Kolej Bandar Utama in Kuala Lumpur and worked as a Singapore-based researcher for the Asia Art Archive, Hong Kong.[3][4]

Juliana is notable as "one of the early voices of Malay women contemporary artists", exploring the position of Muslim women in Singaporean society through her practice since the 1990s.[1][5][6] She was an active member of significant contemporary art groups in Singapore such as The Artists Village (TAV) and Plastique Kinetic Worms (PKW).[3][4][7] Juliana also co-curated the first iteration of the community-based Jatiwangi Art Festival in 2006,[8][9] later taking Jatiwangi in West Java, Indonesia as her "second home".[2][3]

On 27 August 2014, following a long battle with cervical cancer, Juliana died aged 44.[1]
