We are delighted to welcome Nandita as our current artist-in-residence. An anthropoet by practice, her work fluidly traverses painting, illustration, haibun, academic writing, lexical landscapes, ethnography, and abstraction—constantly blurring the boundaries between disciplines, mediums, and modes of thought.
Having previously lived and volunteered in Auroville, she returns through this residency with a project that attempts to create an “encyclopaedia of lenses”, a layered, poetic network of connections to experience Auroville not as a place, but to explore it through borrowed lenses. In her studio, at Citadines, where she’s been staying for the last two months, we can see her creating a lasagna of layers with words and images. One can clearly see how easily her writings become companion pieces to her drawings, inviting us into a space where images and words converse.
