“The act of making cloth connects me to a long line of weavers whose tradition is vanishing in a world of mass production. It is the space where storytelling, making and memory meet.”

Majeda’s work highlights the geometry of weave whilst playing with strong colour. She brings a modern aesthetic to an ancient craft, influenced by the sharp lines of Bauhaus design interwoven with traditional motifs. The pieces have a duality about them, from hand dyed indigo woven art, ethereal Jamdani muslin scarves, to contemporary blankets that intersect a Bengali and British weaving heritage.
