Sender Unknown (Aziza Kadyri, V&A)

Hybrid Showcase Unverified

A V&A South Kensington commission (on until 10 January 2027) in which a bespoke AI model proposed new suzani-style symbols that women artisans in Nurota, Uzbekistan, then embroidered by hand.

Why it's hybrid

AI drafts the motif language; centuries-old hand embroidery makes the work.
