Sejal Parekh’s sculptural practice operates as a cartographic intervention into the geographies of displacement, where materiality becomes a negotiation of contested narratives and embodied memory. Through site-specific installations, video, and sound work, she excavates the intricate topologies of hiraeth, a diasporic condition that exceeds mere nostalgia, instead presenting a radical reimagining of spatial and cultural belonging.

Her work emerges from an intricate understanding of parallel world systems, where cultural dynamics are not simply observed but performatively dismantled. Parekh’s aesthetic strategy is fundamentally an archaeology of gesture: she recuperates and transforms objects, motifs, and performative actions historically deployed to marginalize and stratify, turning them into complex instruments of critical refusal.

Sejal Parekh is a British-Indian cross-disciplinary artist. A graduate of Fine Art from Winchester School of Art (1st Class Honours, 2002) and is currently pursuing an MA Sculpture from the Royal College of Art, London (2025). She has shown at MACBA, Stone Space Gallery, Ovada Gallery, Sala Apolo, Hoxton Gallery, Tangent Projects. She is a member of The Artists Roundtable IV cohort, facilitated by Pia Biasi.
