Hangama Amiri

Textile artist Hangama Amiri (BFA 2012) calls New Haven, Connecticut home now, but her roots are inextricably tied to Afghanistan, which she left as a child. After receiving her BFA from NSCAD in 2012, Amiri received a Fulbright scholarship which she used to research at and ultimately attend Yale University, where she began focusing on a deeply political, feminist, large-scale textile practice.
