Meet the 2025 JURY

Fatima Juned is a visual artist and interdisciplinary practitioner, with her work rooted along the themes of gender, labour, memory, violence, identity, and resistance. Her practice is shaped through collaborations with communities, grassroots organisations, and women whose resistance is quiet but unyielding. Behind the lens or on the page, she traces the fragile contours of survival in a changing world by designing spaces for conversations, learning and questioning for communities on different thematics.

​

Parallel to her visual work, she mixes her work with embroidery and textiles that are often rooted in linguistic traditions of protest and resistance. She is based between Lucknow and New Delhi, she moves at the cusp of culture, tracing the overlooked and the urgent, and continues to work across disciplines, spaces, and solidarities.

Koshy Brahmatmaj (b. 1992, Mumbai, India; she/they) is a multidisciplinary artist, zine maker, and fibre artist living with dynamic disability. Her practice centers around embroidery, bookmaking, and textiles, drawing deeply from her experiences of living with chronic illness. Koshy describes her work as a "letter from me and my neighborhood to my neighborhood and society," blending the deeply personal with reflections on her environment. Textiles, with their softness and portability, are integral to her practice, offering adaptability to her health and mobility. Whether working from her bed on challenging days, her table on better ones, or even in transit, Koshy uses this medium to create intimate and resilient narratives.
