Introducing Siuli-mo Pal (b. 2001), a British Indian artist born and raised in London, UK.

Siuli works at the crossroads of history, politics, and philosophy, using art to question how these forces continue to shape identity and memory. Drawing on a rich palette that blends modern and traditional colours from her cultural heritage, she explores the “legacy” of British imperialism-particularly during the British Raj-and how its echoes continue to inform contemporary British diasporic identity and postcolonial trauma.

Her early works draw from family stories and archival images of the Partition of 1947 and the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, grounding her practice in both personal and collective memory.

What is now emerging in Siuli’s work is a focus on the aesthetics of resistance: an exploration of how colour, light, and material can unsettle, seduce, or disrupt.
Through these elements, she layers historical memory with lived experience, creating spaces where the past and present speak to one another in powerful and unexpected ways.
