Asha Thadani

Asha Thadani is a photographic artist, writer and painter based in Bengaluru, India.

For almost three decades, she has chronicled the inner lives, the physical and metaphorical spaces of those existing below the shiny surface that many of us skate along. Her work is characterised by its focus on power hierarchies, fragility, and sustenance. Her process is raw and immersive, preferring to live with communities for extended periods of time. Nominated for the Henri Cartier Bresson Award 2015, her work has been exhibited and auctioned at Christie’s Auction House, Paris and shown solo at the Albert Kahn Museum, Paris. Other solo exhibitions include: NGMA, Bengaluru, The India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, Piramal gallery, NCPA, Mumbai, Travancore Palace, Delhi, Navjivan Trust, Ahmedabad and at The Art of India among other shows.
