Rabia Siddiqui
Fiber sculpture & performance
Rabia Siddiqui is a fiber artist and performer whose sculptures are built through slow stitching, a patient, hand-sewn process that makes time visible in the finished object. Her practice also extends to tarot reading and performance. She joined Manchester AIR at The Factory on Willow in Manchester, New Hampshire, for the Spring 2025 session.
About the work
Siddiqui’s work examines identity, expectation and belief, questioning the roles a person is expected to play. Her thesis exhibition at Mississippi State University’s College of Architecture, Art and Design, Ontologies and Hauntologies, brought these ideas together through sculpture and ritual, with stitching serving as both material and meditation.
