Unspoken examines mental health and well-being in India, a context where it is considered taboo, yet paradoxically a culture known for spiritual wellness.  The collection takes the form of a textile installation that aims to start a conversation on the importance of robust mental health, exploring how textiles can facilitate expression and healing. 

Nikhita Andi is an Indian-born, and London-based multidisciplinary textile designer. Her design practice and techniques are strongly influenced by traditions, culture, and storytelling. She uses textiles as a medium to express and incorporates multi-disciplinary practices – traditional hand techniques, embroidery, weaving, block-printing, and digital printmaking. Intrigued by sustainable living, she explores slow living and celebrating ancient techniques of textile making.
