Online Talk with Ekta Kaul
Wednesday 7 October 2026, 5 - 6pm BST (British Summer Time)
Ekta Kaul is an India-born, British artist known for textile works that express narratives of place, memory and belonging. Her book Kantha: Sustainable Textiles and Mindful Making, published by Bloomsbury (UK), was shortlisted for the 2025 R. L. Shep Memorial Book Award, recognising the most outstanding book in the field of global cultural heritage textile studies. Rooted in the traditions of kantha and quilt-making, her work bridges hand-stitch, storytelling and cartography, and is held in collections including the Crafts Council (UK), the London Museum (UK), and the Tatter Blue Library (USA). Ekta trained at the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, India and earned her Master's degree in the UK. She is regularly invited to lecture at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and was the featured artist at the V&A during London Craft Week 2025. She is the recipient of the Cockpit Arts Textile Prize (2021) and lives and works in London.
For artist Ekta Kaul, kantha is far more than a stitch - it is the lexicon she uses to map the cities that have shaped her, the memories of place she carries, and the way she interrogates the idea of home and belonging. In this talk, Ekta shares how a domestic quilting tradition practised in Bengal became the thread connecting her roots to her studio practice, and the pages of her book Kantha (Bloomsbury). Expect stories, stitched maps, and the quiet meditation of needle and thread, plus a gentle invitation to begin this practice at home.
