Artist, Curator & Cultural Producer

Hey,
I am Priyanka

I am a multidisciplinary artist working across curatorial practise, film, and painting. My work moves fluidly between independent projects and collaborations with artists, artisans, researchers, and cultural practitioners.

I develop projects and lead curatorial exhibition projects spanning grassroots initiatives, institutional contexts, and archival interventions.

At the core of my work is a commitment to building sustainable and supportive infrastructures for artists—particularly those navigating the margins of the art world. I position myself not only as a creator, but as a facilitator of dialogue, access, and exchange.

I remain, above all, an artist.

This is a form of ARTIVISM.

Trained as a filmmaker and visual artist, I have expanded my practice into curatorial and institutional work, operating at the intersection of artistic production and exhibition-making. My professional experience spans leading galleries and cultural spaces, where I have directed exhibitions, public programming, and operations across both digital and physical formats.

I currently lead exhibitions at the Fearless Foundation for the Arts. I have worked with galleries like Method and artery India and pursued advanced studies in Indian Aesthetics at the Jnanapravaha, Mumbai.

My work is grounded in critical inquiry and committed to building inclusive, artist-centered infrastructures within contemporary art.

Role: Curatorial Production & Cultural Programming

A year-long residency supporting emerging women artists from seven South Asian countries. I co-curated an intensive week in Sri Lanka where artists were trained in Fearless’s activist mural methodology, community-led storytelling, and feminist pedagogy. The program empowered participants to develop site-specific art and lead workshops addressing urgent social issues in their own communities.
