Aninda Singh (b.1982) is a visual artist practicing across London and Bangalore. An alumnus of the Royal College of Art, London, she has been awarded the Charlotte Fraser Foundation Prize UK, Jyotsna Bhatt Ceramics Award – Ark Foundation Vadodara, and Prafulla Dahanukar Art Foundation Gold Award. She has exhibited widely in India and abroad and her works are part of multiple institutional and private collections.
Her practice explores themes of memory, migration, and more-than-human worlds. Resisting a singular, human-centric lens of history, it dwells in the absences left behind by narratives that have been excluded. Opening up registers of memory, it traces how land, plants, and animals were remade into resources using extractive frameworks that continue to shape our relationship with the natural world.
Archival research, fieldwork, and material experimentation are critical elements of her practice. Foraging sedimented histories from the field, she embeds their material traces in her work to centre more-than-human agencies. Using clay and textiles as registers of fragility, complexity, and ecological attention, her works propose memory as a space of continual negotiation, where the stories we inherit and the futures we imagine might be co-authored.
