Aziza Kadyri is a London-based visual artist of Uzbek descent working across textiles, installation, performance, sculpture and creative technologies. Blending analogue craft with digital processes, her practice confronts cultural erasure and the politics of migration, generating speculative narratives that reactivate memory and build alternative mythologies. She is co-founder of Qizlar, a grassroots collective of artists and activists from Central Asia and its diaspora. Kadyri represented Uzbekistan at the 60th Venice Biennale and exhibits internationally, including the Bukhara Biennial (UZ), Hangzhou Triennial of Fiber Art (CN), and a recent solo at Somerset House, London (UK). She is a finalist of CIRCA Prize 2025 and a Gold medallist at the 18th International Triennial of Textile.
