Maariyah Sharjil
Pronouns: She/Her
I am a performance designer and costume constructor.
My main interest is in the stories of minority communities as well as the journeys and stories of the diaspora. I really enjoy research and often have an expansive reading list that inspires my work. I'm interested in translating the emotions and thoughts of my community into a visual language while also embedding history and culture into my designs. I am particularly interested in exploring history and cultures surrounding textiles.
