Born in Pakistan and now living in Manchester, Nehal Aamir’s work represents her multicultural background and experiences as a Muslim woman. Holding a fascination for craft and its traditional techniques, Aamir’s interests lie in storytelling. Showcased through her tiles, her work illustrates the rituals and realities of contemporary urban life.

A contemporary ceramic tapestry, Infinite Hands recognises the dedication and skill of the workforce, whilst also taking inspiration from Blackburn Museum & Art Gallery’s collection and the first exhibition held in its Watercolour Gallery in the 1800s.
