Stitchpunk: Infused - a practice of soft invasions with textile and sculpture artist @liactuallee — rooted in textile futures, speculative ecologies, labour, identity, and soft resistance. The publication became an extension of the world Li has been building through yarn, stitching, research notes, and storytelling — translating tactile, fluid sculptural forms into a hand-printed object that feels intimate, layered, and historical. Inspired by Essen and Gelsenkirchen in Germany, a region once known for its coal-mining past and now rediscovering itself through art, culture, and community. A collaborative process of weaving together graphic design, photography, archives, process material, physical sketches, and evolving thoughts, holding both vulnerability and experimentation across its pages. We’d like to thank all the fine folks in Gelsenkirchen and at Folkwang University of the Arts for their support, and everyone who made us feel so welcome throughout the project and exhibition. Grateful to have shaped this alongside ✨ @liactuallee @folkwang_id @readymade.books #artistzine #layoutdesign #communityproject #artistbooks

Heartfelt thanks to my thesis committee who I had the pleasure to work with - Jennifer Packer, Jackie Gendel, Angela Dufresne, Craig Taylor, and Roger White—for their guidance and generosity. #jenniferpacker @jgendel  @angeldufuche  @craigietate  @roger_white_ This book was made possible with support from @risd1877  and the @baibrownu .

Indian Hip Hop is Evolving - Celebrating 10 years of Seedhe Maut — a decade of raw energy, fearless lyricism, and redefining Indian hip-hop. From underground rap battle slayers to genre pioneers, their voice has echoed a generation. Bars that cut deep. Beats that shook the system. Stories that became anthems.
 Over the last few months, we’ve been working closely with @SeedheMaut to evolve their brand identity — expanding their visual language across every touchpoint. A new logo. A new system. A new chapter. 
 Big thanks you’s goes out to the teams from @azadirecords @dl91era @mostylesuk @9shads @encoreabj @theycallmecalm @theykaulmezitin @cg.dawn @cs2mf and many many more.

IAF 2025 - A few favourite moments from the journey of developing an artwork for India Art Fair 2025. Installation artwork by @liactuallee . Supported by @indiaartfair  Artist-in-Residence Programme and @soultree.in Transmutations weaves overlooked materials and the tactile practice of crochet into a textured meditation on care, labor, and future visions. This outdoor installation uses discarded plastics and fabrics to reflect on the transformative power of imagination, and the ecological future of our planet. The canopy evokes the landscapes of the Nilgiri Hills, created in collaboration with the Women’s Strength community, which empowers local women through skill building. Pools of softness invite visitors to pause, rest, and reflect amidst the chaos of life.

As a previous student of the London College of Communication the Bauhaus and its utopian teachings was foundational to understand the wider impact of design. Indeed flawed in some ways the Bauhaus still has lasting legacy today. In its fourteen-year period, sandwiched between two world wars, Germany's Bauhaus school of art and design changed the face of modernity. With utopian ideals for the future, the school developed a pioneering fusion of fine art, craftsmanship, and technology to be applied across painting, sculpture, design, architecture, film, photography, textiles, ceramics, theatre, and installation. #Dessau #bauhaus #Eurotrip #Designadventures

Standing in front of the Bauhaus. Wearing my father’s 1970s suit, pants made in South Africa, socks online - apparently designed by Mondrian and platform shoes from India, soles fixed, by the nice leather repair man just off Chapel Road. Taking it all in #Dessau #Dream 📷 @liactuallee

Mutating City - Mumbai is transforming at a relentless pace, racing to keep up with its swelling population. Often described as a maximalist metropolis, the city is in a constant state of morphing—contorting, expanding, and mutating into new configurations of concrete and steel. At times, it appears to be collapsing even as it rebuilds itself, caught in a perpetual cycle of decay and renewal. This artwork is a digital collage composed from numerous on-ground photographs of construction sites, unfinished bridges, emerging tower blocks, and monolithic pillars scattered across the city. These fragments were assembled into a surreal architectural landscape—an imagined snapshot of Mumbai’s ongoing reinvention. The composition was further expanded through generative collaboration with ChatGPT.
