Flor Khan’s Bronx Studio Connects Art With Family Memories

Flor Khan’s Bronx Studio Connects Art With Family Memories

Flor Khan is an artist who works in a studio in the Bronx, New York City.

She has been in this space since March and works there after her daytime job.

Her pieces combine photographs and fabric, including Victorian-era postcards featuring her Indo-Caribbean relatives and albums belonging to her late father.

She uses processes such as photo transfers, sewing and steeping fabric in tannins.

Khan says her work helps her connect with her ancestors and their memories.

The studio is part of Kreate Hub, a community of artists and small creative businesses.

Khan and her partner, a muralist and painter, plan to hold a workshop combining cyanotype and painting on New York City landscapes in the coming weeks.

What people are saying

With each stitch, and each photo transfer, I am brought closer to their memory, whether that's working with Victorian-era postcards featuring my Indo-Caribbean aunties or tapping into the photo albums of my late father.
