“For Delhi-based artist-weaver Anshu Singh, a past life of garments is conjured as she works with industrial textile remnants in her locality, foregrounding the labour of textile creation and inherited designs passed down through generations.” — Upasana Das
In Anshu Singh’s practice, textile is approached not merely as material, but as a social and cultural structure carrying histories of labour, inheritance, and collective knowledge. Working with everyday recycled materials such as jute sacks, discarded sari threads, and factory waste, she creates tactile surfaces that speak of repair, endurance, resilience, and transformation.
Her practice draws from the hand-worked carpet weaving traditions of Mirzapur and Bhadohi in Banaras, craft lineages sustained across generations. Through acts of stitching, weaving, and accumulation, discarded fragments are reassembled into works that hold together vulnerability and strength.
The work emerges through a close attention to process and the intelligence of making, where the gesture of the hand becomes central to how memory and labour are embedded within form. Trained in weaving and design, Singh’s engagement with textile practices is deeply informed by her early exposure to weaving communities through her mother’s boutique in Banaras.
Witness her work at Lived-in Skin: Textile as Armour as Memory, a group exhibition by LATITUDE 28.
