Tabeena Wani

Cultures of Resistance Awardee — Kashmir

A visual artist from Kashmir, Tabeena Wani is attracted to two conflicting ideas: home and freedom. She attempts to seek a resolution between those opposing notions through art. She uses thread to incorporate old architectural designs and sufi shrines from her homeland into her art—shrines to the saints that have stood witness to tyranny and resisted it. She creates visuals of disturbance and responsibility that root from the memory clots. 

Wani received a Cultures of Resistance Award (CoR Award) and is using the award for art materials
