Imogen Patel is a multidisciplinary artist based in London, originally from Hertfordshire. Her practice is increasingly centered on textiles, drawing on the cultural and material histories of Indian fabrics to explore themes of identity, belonging, and presence. Through her work, Imogen explores how textiles—particularly Sari —occupy space both physically and symbolically within diasporic communities, serving as a foundation for memory, resistance, and self-expression.

​

Deeply rooted in her own experience of having once distanced herself from her South Asian heritage, Imogen’s work reflects a process of return and reclamation. She weaves together elements such as Indian motifs, domestic textiles, and landscapes from urban and rural environments that hold personal significance. These compositions become layered explorations of combined cultures, post-colonial legacies, and the realities of being a British-Asian woman.

​

Alongside her studio practice, Imogen facilitates creative workshops that invite participants to engage with their own identities and heritage. These inclusive, reflective spaces emphasise storytelling, collaboration, and the power of creative expression to foster connection. Her commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion informs both her artistic and educational work, highlighting the transformative potential of art in shaping empathetic and innovative communities.
