Sejal Parekh (she/her) is a British Indian multi-disciplinary artist.

A graduate of Fine Art from Winchester School of Art, her practice is based in sculpture, often working on large scale site specific installations, video and sound work.

Her practice explores rituals, routines and identity within the context of the beauty of the everyday. Her pieces often incorporate distinct and inherent cultural references in order to explore the conditions of nostalgia, displacement, assimilation, and appropriation. Using ordinary and deeply personal references, she seeks to acknowledge and elevate objects and materials – such as foods and safety pins. Often these have been weaponised to drive inequality and otherness, we see in her work a resistance and refusal of those attempts by allowing the viewer to experience an inherent point of view.
