About

Winchester-based textile artist and researcher Jennifa Chowdhury explores contemporary expressions of identity, heritage, and belonging through British-Bengali-Muslim experiences. Her practice draws on Islamic geometric design, in which pattern construction are central to her work. Light, shadow, and movement are fundamental to her process-driven approach.

Through the lens of cultural translation, her work examines displacement, cultural negotiation, and the relationship between abstraction, personal identity, and traditional practice.

Chowdhury holds a BA (Hons) in Textile Design from Nottingham Trent University and an MA in Textiles from the University for the Creative Arts. A member of the Society of Designer Craftsmen, she is currently undertaking a PhD at the University for the Creative Arts.
