Mita Chowdhury: Inheritance

Formed through slow, meditative processes of hand-stitching, wrapping and dyeing, Inheritance weaves together Chowdhury’s lived experiences as a first-generation Bangladeshi-Australian artist.

Inheritance is an immersive installation that transforms everyday materials into vessels of memory, care and connection. Through fragile yet grounded forms made from broken gum tree branches, turmeric and handwoven Bangladeshi Khadi, the work explores how making can hold and pass on inherited stories across generations and geographies. Inheritance invites visitors into a space where belonging, displacement and care become intertwined acts of resistance.
