Khensani is a Johannesburg-based fibre artist, researcher and content creator whose work explores African fashion history, material culture and sustainability through practice-based investigation. Rooted in a personal journey to reconnect with her ancestry through dress, her work examines how textiles function as archives of memory, resistance and identity, as well as tools for liberation and understanding in the postcolonial world. Using techniques such as upcycling, embroidery, beading and garment reconstruction, she creates work that bridges historical research and contemporary creative practice. Her projects centre on the labour, knowledge and creativity of women, and challenge dominant narratives around African dress, skill and authorship. Khensani has collaborated with cultural organisations, museums and sustainability-focused platforms, and was awarded Influencer of the Year at the 2022 Twyg Sustainable Fashion Awards. She is currently developing a research-based sewing pattern archive dedicated to African historical and traditional garments, alongside a podcast and digital education practice.
