I grew up in Mumbai. My childhood home was a part of radical and intellectual circle of that time where many activists, scholars and artists met. I went to study at National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad and later worked at various places in India.
I work as a freelance artist, filmmaker and teacher with social movements, organizations and academic institutions. Every human experience intrigues me and it interests me to observe how we live in our surroundings. Engaging in the process of image making to understand people and their socio-cultural environments is something that drives me.
I want to continue to work with the indigenous communities in the contemporary conflicting situations in India. I wish to explore the methods and forms of recording,documenting and understanding people and their environment in an involved, collaborative, non-hierarchical and just way.
I sing and learn Indian classical and folk music.
