Born in East Africa, of Kutchi-Indian Turkiq and Nubian heritage, Amina Ahmed grew up in England and has lived in Iran and the USA. She specialized in Visual Islamic and Traditional Arts at The Royal College of Art

Amina Ahmed’s practice is rooted in geometry, continually drawing from folk art and the patterns witnessed in nature. Her work moves through the landscape of the heart, the tree, the mind—between rhythm and pattern—as a way of remembering, of becoming whole, of tracing our place within a primordial, migratory language. For Amina, the outward process of making—the alchemy of material preparation—is also an inward journey. Her work maps intertextuality, transposing elements into a field of remembering, where displacement, transition, and transformation converge. She moves through these relations as a forest walker.
