Drop in and discover more about the themes, techniques and ideas in the ‘UNmaking’ exhibition by meeting one of the acclaimed exhibition artists Amarjeet Kaur Nandhra.

Amarjeet is an artist and educator based in West London, with over 40 years of experience in creating art and 30 years of teaching experience. She was born in East Africa, Tanzania, and moved to England in 1967. Her practice explores the idea that textiles carry our stories, stimulate our memories, and express our beliefs. 

She is particularly interested in examining the hidden meanings behind textiles, looking beyond their purely aesthetic qualities. This exploration has led her to re-examine the colours, patterns, and symbolism associated with traditional Indian textiles. At first glance, the ornamentation can captivate the viewer. While she is fascinated by their decorative qualities, her focus is on how these textiles are used to narrate the stories of their makers, as well as the history and memories they embody.
