Savneet Talwar is a Chicago-based American Studies scholar, fiber artist, educator, and art therapist. She is a faculty member at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she teaches in the Art Therapy and Fiber and Material Studies departments.

As an interdisciplinary fiber and feminist artist, Talwar's work exists at the intersection of archives, memory, language, feminist politics, care, remembrance, and resistance. Her practice investigates the contradictions of feminist labor and the politics of the archive, exploring questions of history, memory, and representation: Who is deemed worthy of becoming a subject of discourse? Which colonial narratives and visual regimes continue to shape understandings of the minoritized individuals?

Talwar has initiated various community based projects such as the Wandering Uterus Project to facilitate conversations on reproductive justice; the CEW (Creatively Empowered Women) Design Studio, a social enterprise for Bosnian and South Asian Women in Chicago and most recently the Mending Lab, a pop up art studio to facilitate conversation on the role of repair in communities.  She is also a member of the P O Box Collective, a social practice space in Rogers Park, Chicago. She is the author of Art Therapy for Social Justice: Radical Intersections and has published numerous articles in national and international journals on ethics of care, intersectional feminism, feminist pedagogy, the politics of crafting, culture and identity, ethics, law and cultural competence, trauma informed art therapy, and more.
