Theda Sandiford is an interdisciplinary artist known for her innovative fiber and installation art. Her work explores racial trauma and collective memory through weaving, coiling, and knotting, often using found materials and community-sourced objects to create what she calls a "social fabric," interweaving personal stories with contemporary issues.

Rooted in community engagement, Sandiford leads collaborative, site-specific art experiences that spark dialogue around equity, sustainability, and well-being. Her practice highlights the transformative power of creativity and collective action.

Sandiford's work has been exhibited internationally and is part of the permanent collections at the Guggenheim Museum and Pittsburgh Children’s Museum. She has shown at World of Threads, Expo Chicago, Untitled Art Fair, SPRING/BREAK Art Show, and the American Contemporary Craft National Juried Exhibition. In addition to exhibitions and public collections, Sandiford designed a woven lightbox installation for the launch of Coty Fragrance’s Entere Genres. Her honors include recognition by Fiber Art Now, the 2020 Jersey City Visual Artist Award, a 2021 NJ State Council on the Arts Craft Fellowship, a 2022 JCAC Fellowship, and the 2023–24 National Leaders of Color Fellowship.
