Rich Mix, Shoreditch

speaker

At Rich Mix Shoreditch, I had the opportunity to speak at Nodes, a gathering that brought together artists and cultural thinkers from across London. I shared my personal journey as a British Kashmiri Punjabi artist and spoke about my mission to challenge stereotypes by highlighting the beauty of Islamic art around the world. Through photography and travel, I document how Islamic artistic influences continue to shape architecture, design, and everyday life, creating space for reflection, conversation, and connection.

Ramadan Space, North London

showcase

I was proud to have my Andalusian-inspired fabric art displayed at Ramadan Space 2025, one of London’s most vibrant third spaces for the Muslim community during the holy month. Hosting over a thousand visitors daily, the space became a place of creativity, community, and spiritual grounding. My art, inspired by the intricate designs of Al-Andalus, reflected themes of cultural fusion, craftsmanship, and unity.

Seeing my artwork featured in a beautifully styled South London home by @houseofshabs was a truly special moment. The space showcased my work in a way that felt authentic and personal. It’s always powerful to see art come to life in someone’s home, where it becomes part of their story and daily surroundings.

Moroccan Corner Cafe, East London

DISPLAY

My artwork was invited into the warm and welcoming setting of a community favourite in East London. Known for its relaxed atmosphere and cultural roots, the café became the perfect backdrop for my work, bringing together themes of tradition, identity, and everyday beauty. It was a reminder that art doesn’t always need a white wall; sometimes it belongs in spaces that feel like home.
