Kirtika Kain

Kirtika Kain is a Delhi-born artist working on Dharug land. Combining elements of sculpture, experimental printmaking and painting, Kirtika’s practice draws from her Dalit lineage and investigates hybridity, ancestral memory and the complexities of race and caste in the diaspora. Her work is influenced by historical and family archives and her labour-intensive studio practice utilises materials of ritual, including pigments, waxes and golds, reclaiming their traditional religiosity.
