Born in Rajasthan in 1995 and raised in Dubai, she carries the dual influence of desert traditions and diasporic experience, sensibilities that shape the questions at the core of her work.

Drawing from dialogues with rural communities and the layered histories of Rajasthan, Suthar examines how land use, policy, and memory construct cultural identity. Her methods span archival research, drawing, moving images, textiles, and object-making, each offering a distinct entry point into complex narratives. Through immersive spatial interventions, she challenges singular perspectives and cultivates plural ways of seeing, sensing, and understanding the worlds we inhabit.

Mohd. Intiyaz is a Delhi-based visual practitioner whose work navigates memory, displacement, social disparity, and the politics of control. Born in Sahibganj, Jharkhand, he migrated to Delhi at a young age, growing up in the unstable conditions of the city’s slums, experiences that continue to anchor his artistic inquiry. His practice draws from everyday negotiations shaped by marginalisation, using lived realities as both subject and material.

Working across murals, drawings, installations, and assemblages, Intiyaz incorporates found objects, upcycled textiles, and sack cloth to examine public life and collective behaviour. His compositions, dense with figurative forms, layered patterns, and elements inspired by Delhi’s flora, fauna, and architecture, critically engage with the dynamics of crowds, power, and belonging. Through this visual language, he questions dominant attitudes while imagining alternative futures grounded in plurality and shared resilience.

Her practice centers on the transformation of discarded pharmaceutical blister packs, exploring how everyday waste can be reimagined through material, cultural, and ecological inquiry.

Drawing on minimalist aesthetics, environmental consciousness, and the ritualistic forms embedded in her cultural memory, Gupta creates large-scale sculptural installations that elevate the disposable into the numinous. In her work, these once-forgotten objects gain presence, value, and symbolic resonance. Ultimately, she sees her practice as a call for shifting sensibilities—inviting viewers to reconsider materiality, care, and the quiet narratives held within the mundane.

Zoya Chaudhary is an India-born, Singapore-based artist whose practice explores perception, subjectivity, and memory through non-narrative, materially driven forms. Working across installation, cut-out collage, drawing, and painting, she examines how cultural, physical, and temporal vantage points shape the way we see, often disrupting familiar patterns and archival material to question stability, meaning, and the intimacy of knowing.

Aman Kumar Bavariya is a Jabalpur-based painter whose practice draws from the rhythmic logic of weaving to explore memory, labour, and domestic life. Working primarily with acrylic on canvas, he builds finely layered brushstrokes that echo the tactile qualities of handwoven fabric, an influence rooted in childhood memories of his grandmother’s craft. Rugs, doormats, female figures, and everyday household objects appear as recurring motifs, transforming rural and domestic references into intimate visual meditations on care and embodied knowledge.

Aman holds an MFA in Painting from the Government College of Fine Arts, Jabalpur (2025). His work has been exhibited at the Kochi Students’ Biennale (2025), Method Gallery, and Space Studio.

Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s in Sculpture at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, he draws on personal memories, long train journeys, and the emotional terrains of displacement to build intimate mechanical worlds.

Rooted in a lifelong fascination with flight and simple engineering, Ridam constructs kinetic sculptures that merge traditional craft with accessible technologies. Working with wood, papier-mâché, ceramic, brass, and electronic components, he creates subtle gestures, tapping feet, flapping oars, shifting eyes, that open deeper narratives of longing, observation, and identity. His works transform everyday objects into metaphors of burden, connection, and the invisible movements that shape human experience.

Sumit Naik is a contemporary figurative artist based in Corlim, Goa, whose practice bridges the structural possibilities of paper with the emotional depth of hyperrealism. Working primarily with charcoal on meticulously crafted paper forms, he folds, cuts, and shapes the material into architectural frameworks that act as the foundation for his intimate figurative drawings.

Influenced by urban architecture and spatial memory, Sumit creates surfaces where abstraction meets realism, allowing the paper to function as both structure and metaphor. Through meditative layers of charcoal, he captures fleeting emotions and vulnerable inner states with striking clarity. His works invite viewers into quiet, contemplative encounters that reveal the nuanced complexities of human experience.

Subhash Deka (b. 1997, Sarthebari, Assam) is a sculptor whose practice is rooted in the cultural and natural rhythms of his upbringing. He draws inspiration from the subtle movements of the environment, swaying banana leaves, shifting winds, changing rain patterns, translating these fleeting sensations into sculptural form. His work blends observation, memory, and material sensitivity, often echoing the sensory landscapes of Sarthebari and the quiet intimacies of rural life.

Subhash holds an MFA in Sculpture from Indira Kala Sangeet Vishwavidyalaya, Khairagarh (2023), and a BFA in Sculpture from Kokrajhar Music and Fine Art College (2021). Through his sculptures, he invites viewers into contemplative spaces where nature, nostalgia, and cultural connection merge.

Yash Choudhary is a visual artist from Jaipur whose practice emerges from the sensory and emotional textures of urban life. Transforming everyday city moments, traffic, fading architecture, shifting crowds, and familiar street rhythms, into expressive abstractions, he works through memory and sensation rather than direct representation. Using fractured geometric forms, bold colour juxtapositions, and intuitive mark-making, Yash reflects on Jaipur’s evolving identity, a place he characterises as a “dystopia after the utopia,” where tradition and modernity continually collide.

Rooted in close observation, his non-representational compositions reimagine ordinary scenes, pre-dawn fog, street corners, discarded objects, into visual metaphors for change, alienation, and connection. His paintings offer a poetic and critical reflection on the contemporary city and its shifting emotional undercurrents.

Yashika Goel is an interdisciplinary artist and designer whose practice interrogates the systems shaping emerging technologies while imagining subversive futures. Working across new media, code, installation, sound, film, and sculpture, she creates experiential narratives that explore how human and non-human identities are entangled within today’s technological paradigm. Rooted in feminist thought and community-driven methodologies, her work develops participatory frameworks that question algorithmic bias and propose alternative modes of making and experiencing AI.

Her graduate project Machine Yearning (2024) embodies this approach through an AI model that generates meaning from shared stories of female yearning, disrupting conventional machine-learning systems through intimacy and oral histories. A Lumen Prize Finalist (2025), the work has been exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Peckham Digital, and the Royal College of Art. Her broader practice has shown internationally across museums, festivals, and cultural institutions.
