Artist Hormazd Narielwalla, whose mural, Expanding Universe, has just been unveiled at the Royal Geographical Society, was born in Mumbai, India in 1979 and moved to Britain in 2003, originally to study as a fashion designer. He holds a PhD from University of Arts, London. His field of research is an original collage technique around the iconic brown paper of discarded tailoring patterns and he describes his practice as 'influenced by cross-cultural perceptions'. Bands of Pride (2017, Ben Uri Collection), commissioned by the Migrations Museum, is a multi-panel collage exploring notions of identity, history, prejudice and reconciliation that provides a starting point for their discussion.
