Project exhibited at Sharjah Biennale 2025 at Flying Saucer Sharjah

SVAD, BNU was awarded a UNESCO project involving two selected circuits for mapping, resourcing, and capacity building. Workshops raised awareness and aimed to generate revenue through heritage tourism by establishing cultural sites. These sites functioned as global craft hubs, offering multisensory experiences that blended information, entertainment, and knowledge-building for both tourists and locals.

Collaborated with renowned fibre artist Liz Williamson in the Weaving Eucalyptus Project, dyeing organic fabrics like cotton, raw silk, and satin with locally sourced Eucalyptus (Safaida). Documented the natural dyeing process and sent the fabrics to Liz, who wove them into panels. This global initiative connected textile artists through shared environmental values. Each of the 100 panels included a QR code linking to the collaborator’s story and method. The complete work was exhibited at UNSW Galleries (June–August 2022) and is touring regional galleries across Victoria and NSW in 2023.

In celebration of Rural Women’s Day, BNU’s Textile Department and Kaarvan Crafts Foundation co-hosted a workshop aimed at breaking down the concept of “otherness” through storytelling and dialogue. Focused on inclusivity and expression, the workshop created a shared learning space between urban students and marginalized rural women from regions like Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, and Kasur. It fostered empathy, challenged societal norms set by the elite, and sought to blur boundaries between city and village, privilege and poverty, men and women.
