About

You are officially invited to club Sapna, A space created for the diverse south Asian community, celebrating all of our shared experiences of displacement, identity, culture, and fusion. Music representing us blasting out the speakers, marigolds surround the room and a splash of colour everywhere you look. Don your lenghas, your heavy jewels, wear your bindhis and bangles. Carry your version of your culture with you. 


Sapna explores traditional weaving and craft techniques from Gujarat, where a large sun of India’s traditional textiles are made. She analyses various creatives in the community and the reasons as to why they want to give the south Asian community a voice and amplifies that message through her garments. Her project is celebratory. Celebrating her being born and raised in London. Celebrating her being Gujarati. Celebrating growing amongst a creative South Asian community. Celebrating a safe space for all of us.
