Poulomi Basu is a neurodiverse artist and author known for her exploration of the interrelationship between systems of power and bodies through work that exists at the limits of visual art, film, creative technologies and society. Basu’s work is hybrid in nature defined by her transnational identity, working across transdisciplinary, interactive and experimental mediums.
Whilst the centre of her works are often women of the Global South (non Euro-centric), like herself, her art and its histories are connected beyond their places of origin. Her works focus on the intersectionality of ecological, racial, cultural, political and personal collisions. Basu’s evolving, embodied approach to artmaking is emblematic of the plurality of experiences and the myriad ways in which identity is constructed in contemporary culture.
Basu’s hybrid multi mixed media practice are in photography, installation, collage, virtual and mixed reality, performance and film often influenced by magical realism and speculative futures.
Poulomi is a full voting member of BAFTA UK.
Basu is also Magnum Foundation Social Justice Fellow, National Geographic Explorer and was selected for Sundance New Frontiers Lab Fellowship.
