Masuma Halai is a visual artist with a trajectory that has always involved the use of fabric, and her practice relies heavily on the use of textiles and the integration of personal memory, diverse histories and different cultures to come up with narratives that are isolated from the origins of all three. She works with textiles sourced from local flea markets, collected by her over some time, pairing them with embroidery and melding the two together by ruthlessly cutting the embroidery into little pieces resonating well with the breaking up of traditions due to the effects of globalization.
