Raisa Kabir is an interdisciplinary artist and weaver based in London. Kabir uses woven text/textiles and performance to materialise multiple concepts, concerning the interwoven cultural politics of cloth. Kabir’s work draws on textile mobilities, embodied archives, and geographies of anti-colonial resistance. Kabir’s (un)weaving performances and tapestries are used to complicate structures of power, global production/extraction, and to call on the weaving knowledge systems and technologies’ potential, to transform, remagine and reweave the current world structures we live under.

Kabir has exhibited work internationally at The Whitworth, Liverpool Biennial, Whitechapel Gallery, Australian Design Centre, Asia Art Now Paris, India Art Fair, Raven Row, The Craft Council London, CCA Glasgow, Archive Berlin, British Textile Biennial, Glasgow International, Textile Arts Center NYC, Ford Foundation Gallery NYC, and the Center for Craft, Creativity, and Design NC.

Kabir has lectured and shared her research at Tate Modern, the V&A, The Courtauld, and the Royal College of Art.
