Shaheen Kasmani, is a surface pattern and textile designer. Her background is in language, literature and education, and she has always
had an interest and a love for the visual arts. She graduated from The Prince’s School of Traditional Arts in London, completing her MA in Visual Islamic Traditional Arts, in
2014. Her specialism is in surface pattern and textile design,
principally using traditional patterns and motifs, in both conventional
and contemporary contexts. She likes her work to be part of telling a story.
It could be celebrating something long forgotten, exploring a theme or
idea, or a reclamation of the narrative from those who have hijacked or
imposed their own upon others. Her work is about history, heritage,
culture and conversation, and she strongly believe in the power of
learning and education.
