Join us for a seminar-style presentation and dialogue with artist Sagarika Sundaram as she discusses her practice and Sheila Pepe’s outdoor exhibition, My Neighbor’s Garden, on view now through December 10.

Sagarika Sundaram creates textile tapestry, sculpture, and installations using raw natural fiber and dyes. The work observes and abstracts natural phenomena in the form of handmade textiles that generate power and presence. Sundaram has exhibited at numerous organizations including the Al Held Foundation. In 2023, she will be included in the British Textile Biennale at the Whitaker Museum of Art, Lancashire, UK. In 2022, she was awarded The Hopper Prize, a Bronx Museum AIM Fellowship and a residency at Art Omi. In 2020, she received the Tishman Award for Excellence in Climate, Environmental Justice & Sustainability and the Michael Kalil Endowment for Smart Design. Sundaram graduated with an MFA in Textiles from Parsons / The New School, NY. She studied at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad and at MICA in Baltimore. She is Visiting Assistant Professor at the Pratt Institute. She is currently a resident at Silver Art Projects in New York City. Her debut solo show will open on November 3, 2023 at Palo Gallery in New York City.
