Bhasha Chakrabarti (b. 1991; Honolulu, USA) is interested in exploring how artwork, even when grounded in local materials and symbols, can speak to issues beyond the local by situating her practice within global conversations around race, gender, and power. By crossing many genres, she explores art-making as a mode of discourse and her work generates dialogues between subaltern tropes and feminine forms of labor from the global South and the agendas of resistance movements of marginalized communities in the global North.
Bhasha Chakrabarti graduated with a Master of Fine Arts in Painting and Printmaking from the Yale School of Art in the Spring of 2022. Chakrabarti lives and works in New Haven, CT.
