Anshu Singh

Anshu Singh was born in 1989 in Varanasi, India and has obtained both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Weaving and Textile Design from the Banaras Hindu University. Her artistic journey took root in her mother’s boutique, where she was exposed to the weaver’s community that frequented the establishment. As a contemporary artist, her work embraces the intersection of traditional crafts and contemporary contexts. Inspired by the craftsmanship of the marginalized communities traditionally employed in embroidery ateliers, Anshu explores the possibilities afforded by unconventional materials.

Anshu Singh lives and works in Varanasi, India.
