Artist Interview - Sayali Goyal
Episode 10
Wednesday, 21 October, 2026

Sayali Goyal is a visual artist and ethnographer. She creates abstract expressions on textiles and paper based on her research into material cultures. Her two bodies of work, 'Ether' (created in Jaipur and inspired by the colours of the old city, the symbolism of tantric paintings and the craft of block printing) and 'Indigo' (inspired by the pigment's colour, the process of natural dye and alchemy), have been exhibited at the Japan Foundation, British Council, Kathiwada City House, Jaipur Art Week, Kamladevi Gallery IIC as well as Melina Finkelstein Gallery in California. Her inspirations stem from inner worlds. Sayali is also the author of 'Everyday Indian Aesthetic,' published by Roli Books in 2024, and the Founding Editor of Cocoa and Jasmine magazine. Her ongoing projects examine collaborative methods with artisans across borders and the symbolism of shared identity. Sayali has furthered her practice by curating artist x artisan residencies in Punjab, India, and by curating textile installations, such as 'Safed' at Nehru Centre, Ministry of Culture (India), London, UK.https://www.cocoaandjasmine.com/zine/ether-the-fifth-elementhttps://www.instagram.com/cocoaandjasmine/School of Stitched Textiles https://www.sofst.org/
