About Trainer:
Natalya Konforti is a designer, artist, and cultural program facilitator with a degree in Fashion Design from ESMOD International. A decade in the garment industry cultivated her response to color palettes, a fascination with patterns as well as a deep appreciation for textile craftsmanship. Her process-driven, introspective practice is grounded in what we leave behind; channeling themes of memory, community, and sustainability. Through a variety of mixed mediums including photography, paint, and textile, her work pays homage to a meaningful technique, material, or location.
Natalya has participated in exhibitions at Tashkeel, RAKFAF, Alserkal Avenue, DIFC Art Nights, and World Art Dubai. She runs several non-profit community initiatives and is a contributor to cultural entities such as Jameel Arts Centre, Sharjah House of Wisdom, Dubai Design Week, and Sharjah Art Foundation. Her work has been featured in numerous publications including The National, Khaleejesque, Friday Magazine, Arab News, and Uppercase Magazine.
