Kantha Connections: Stitching Across Borders
Rubina Singh
Rubina Singh
Rubina Singh (she/her) is a New Delhi-based textile artivist, social designer, and human rights practitioner whose work sits at the crossing of feminist making, rights-based advocacy, and participatory design. Trained in Law and Design, she draws on the subversive histories of embroidery, including her inherited love of Phulkari, to explore fabric as a language of repair, witness, and collective memory. She seeded Rafunaama, a South Asian platform nurturing textile artivists, nurturing solidarities and shared practice across borders. Alongside this, she has spent over 15 years in the human rights field and currently leads network weaving initiatives at Ignite Philanthropy, working across the Global Majority to end violence against children.
