Kallol Datta is a clothes maker and researcher. A cornerstone of their work is extensive creative research in clothing practices, native to South West Asia, North Africa, the Korean Peninsula and Japan. Their practice reflects upon reconstructing, repurposing, and restructuring donated items of clothing that hold memory, episodic events, and history, to negotiate larger questions about work and production, of labour and use, cultural sustainability, and of ideas revolving around research as production. Datta describes their works as ‘sites of tension’, intimate portraits and landscapes.
Their artistic and curatorial projects are driven by community, acts of resistance against structural inequalities, shared processes of healing, and radical ways of knowledge building.
They have exhibited at TRI, Kolkata, Aomori Contemporary Art Centre; Aomori, Beirut Design Fair, Berlin Fashion Week, Centro Cultural La Moneda; Santiago, India Art Fair; New Delhi, Museo Franklin Rawson; San Juan, National Museums Scotland; Edinburgh, Art Athina; Athens, Nomad Monaco and Victoria and Albert Museum; London.
Kallol was the curator of the inaugural edition of Kolkata Queer Arts Month 2023 and was an interlocutor at the State of Fashion Biennale 2024, Arnhem, 2024.
