Artist’s Rooms: Risham Syed

The publication features an essay by Adnan Madani on the artist’s practice which interweaves the history of the British Empire’s cotton trade with contemporary geopolitics and narratives of resistance. Including her own reflection and visual documentation, it presents her large-scale quilts mapping 20th-century port cities once central to colonial trade routes; through fabrics sourced from her travels, her practice is presented within broader historical and post-colonial discourse.
