Wednesday 20 May 2026, 5 - 6pm BST: Meet Hansika Sharma
Online Talk with Hansika Sharma
Wednesday 20 May 2026, 5 - 6pm BST (British Summer Time)
Hansika Sharma is a textile artist whose central concerns are the colour indigo, complexity of embroidered surfaces, transformation and is informed by the philosophy of self reflection.
Sharma has developed a connection with the colour Indigo as a colour of her soul, drawing similarities with the History of Indigo that changed the world and politics in a way, as well as its personal mysterious chemical nature of getting alchemised from green to the deepest darkest beautiful form of blue. The character of the colour Indigo that can range from being a depressive dark energy to the most soothing beautiful energy relates to the artist’s personal history and challenges with fighting melancholy and getting drawn towards an ocean of calm at the same time.
Sharma's work further explores and responds to constant personal evolution, changing philosophies, interactions with other people, complexity of human psychology that can be simplified and further investigation of its effect on socio-political subject matters.
The imagery of Sharma's work are threads embroidered in simple stitches forming an overall complex visual, which is added by cotton threads, Zaris and cords.
In this session Sharma will explore her creative journey and artistic practice, concluding with a Q&A.
Sharma will also be running an online workshop, From Repetition to Reflection on Saturday 1 & 8 August 2026, 2 - 5pm BST. To book your place, visit our website HERE.
