Sejal Parekh is a British-Indian cross-disciplinary artist, whose practice is based in sculpture, often working on site specific installations, video and sound work. Her ongoing body of work investigates the notion of hiraeth and home as a conceptual idea(l) and belonging as its source. Growing up in a parallel-worlds-system her work focuses on cross-cultural social dynamics and identity.

The works become interventions of space and often manifest in repetitive objects and motifs that have been weaponised to drive inequality and otherness, so through her pieces we see an irreverent refusal of those attempts by inviting the viewer to experience an inherent point of view.

Over the last few years Sejal has divided her time between Barcelona and London as she had the opportunity to be a resident artist at Tangent Projects. She has shown across a number of public spaces, independent galleries and art fairs including, Ovada Gallery Oxford, SWAB Art Fair, Art Meets Apolo I, FlagLab Barcelona, MACBA and had a solo show at Stone Space Gallery, London, in 2024.
