Sabiha Dohadwala

Based in Mumbai, Sabiha Dohadwala approaches textile as a site of integrating and disintegrating memories, images, and histories. Her works address the human tendency to forget over time and advocate a renewed way of understanding memory. Dohadwala captures cultural histories and lived experiences through the act of weaving. The tactile materiality of textile is ingrained with acts of remembering in the face of erasure.
Dohadwala has a BFA with an emphasis in Fiber and Material Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has previously worked as a Collections and Exhibitions Assistant at the Swedish American Museum in Chicago, US, and at Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art. She worked closely with historic textiles at the Art Institute of Chicago and as a Textile Designer for BiYuu, Mexico City.
