About

Stepping into an exhibition with me is like stepping into someone’s memory or dream. I think of galleries as stages, not just rooms, where every show is a story waiting to unfold.

How I Curate

I work hand-in-hand with artists to figure out what their work is really saying. It’s not just about putting art on the wall. I like to reimagine the space around the art - sometimes that means turning the gallery into a living room, or filling it with props you can actually touch and use. Immersive art experiences matter to me, because I want you to feel like you’re inside the story, not just looking at it.

Types of Shows

• Solo exhibitions that dive deep into one artist’s world
• Retrospectives showing how someone’s work has changed over time
• Themed group exhibitions where different artists talk to each other through their work
• Medium-focused shows (think: only photography, print, or installations)

What to Expect

You’ll find more than just art on walls. I host artist-led gallery tours and talks, so you can ask questions and get to know the people behind the work. Doesn’t matter if you’re a hardcore art fan or just curious, everyone’s welcome.

Beyond Bangalore

While my base is Bangalore, my curation travels. I’ve taken South Asian art stories to national and international art fairs, so the experience isn’t limited to just one place.
