ABOUT
Just to introduce myself, I am an artist, curator, and academic. My work hovers around questions of environment, media and aesthetics, and social justice. Credit: Sudipto Basu
I am currently a doctoral candidate at the Film and Media Studies department at University of California Santa Barbara. My dissertation Forested Media looks at how indigenous communities work, and live, with media to express their knowledge and experiences of forests. And how they imagine ethical futures and forge relations with other species amidst it.
Between 2018-2023, I co-founded and co-organized Forest Curriculum, a curatorial and artistic platform to engage in questions of forests and other environments, and knowledge formation, in south and southeast Asia. Now, I am a co-curator for Hosting Lands, an experimental exhibition project on questions of land, access and belonging, primarily situated in Denmark.
