Shradha Kochhar (b. Delhi, India) is a textile artist and knitwear designer based in Brooklyn, New York. Best known for her home spun and hand knitted ‘khadi’ sculptures using ‘kala cotton’ - an inherently organic cotton strain indigenous to India, her work is at an intersection of material memory, sustainability and intergenerational healing. Focusing on generating a physical archive of personal and collective south asian narratives linked to women’s work, invisible labor and grief, the work is large scale and exists as sculpture beyond whispers over generations. Kochhar received her MFA in Textiles from Parsons School of Design, New York. She is a Dorothy Waxman Textile Excellence Prize Finalist and was awarded the John L. Tishman Environment and Design Award for Excellence in 2021. Her work has been shown at the Melbourne Museum, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, Mana Contemporary and New York Public Library. Her work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Vogue, Crafts Magazine, Harper's Bazaar and others.
