Roshini Kempadoo (born Crawley, Sussex, England,[1] 1959) is a British photographer, media artist, and academic. For more than 20 years she has been a lecturer and researcher in photography, digital media production, and cultural studies in a variety of educational institutions, and is currently a professor in Photography and Visual Culture at the University of Westminster.[2][3]

Her photography has been concerned with women's issues and issues of representation, particularly of black people.[4] In her research, multimedia, and photographic projects, which explore the visual representation of the Caribbean,[5] she combines "factual and fictional re-imaginings of contemporary experiences with history and memory ...[and] her recent work as a digital image artist includes photographs and screen-based interactive art installations that fictionalize Caribbean archive material, objects, and spaces."[6]
