Patterns of the Past: Ammna Sheikh
This exhibition at Upright Gallery is by British/Pakistani artist, Ammna Sheikh, and showcases her work with traditional techniques such as screenprinting, weaving, embroidery and painting!
About Patterns of the Past: Ammna Sheikh
Ammna Sheikh is a British/Pakistani artist whose practice celebrates the richness of her Pakistani cultural heritage. She explores the handmade, generational techniques and histories that have been carefully passed down in her family over the past 70 years. Her art emphasises the enduring value of these craft traditions, intending to preserve them as digital technology increasingly overshadows cultural practices that rely on the human touch.
Ammna Sheikh received her first award in June 2023 and since then she has been awarded many other awards such as the RSA Patrons Award, The Edinburgh Printmakers Residency Award, Glasgow Print Studio Award and The NHS Lothian Charity Tonic Arts Purchase Prize. Ammna currently lives and works in Edinburgh, Scotland.
