Tejal Shah

‘Tejal Shah’s research-based practice is informed by eco-poetics, non-duality and queer-feminism. Having worked across diverse media such as video, photography, performance, sound, drawing, and installation since 2017, Shah is engaged in art as social practice. Through participatory gatherings, workshops and retreats, she facilitates experiential journeys of self-enquiry into the nature of reality, and our consciousness. Rooted in the aesthetics of love and care, these processes operate on a psychosomatic and performative level, emphasizing multiplicity over singularity.

Shah’s works have shown internationally in museums, galleries, and film festivals including, 60th Venice Biennale, 35th Sao Paulo Biennale, 4th Kochi-Muziris Biennale, Documenta 13, Tate Modern, Centre Pompidou, and Rotterdam International Film Festival. Her works are held in important private and institutional collections including the Devi Art Foundation (India), Lenbachhaus (Munich), Wolfsburg Museum (Wolfsburg), and Folkwang Museum (Essen).’ – The Goethe Institute, Max Mueller Bhavan | India
