Anisha Sawaid
Anisha Sawaid is an emerging designer based on Gadigal land. Weaving forms the core of her practice, examining the slow, meticulous craft and its links to nature, culture and technology. Her recent works reimagine traditional weaving techniques and motifs through a more technological lens by utilising code to translate data sets. This new dialogue between ancestral practices and digital systems offers space for hands-on experimentation and new discoveries.
Her upcoming research and body of works begin to dive into her Bedouin-Palestinian heritage to strengthen the diasporic connection with her cultural identity and family roots. As her practice evolves, Anisha continues to ground her work in design thinking and strengthen technical skills in the weaving practice.
