RANJIT KANDALGAONKAR
Ranjit Kandalgaonkar’s artistic practice primarily comprises a lens directed at the urban context of cities. Some of the works map vulnerability within redevelopment strategies of urbanisation or record timelines and ‘blindspots’ - alternate markers of a city that’s unraveling. Most of his long-term projects are research-intensive and attempt to unlock historical and contemporary data by placing the work in the context of an unseen social history. Awards & grants include Majlis Visual Arts Fellowship, U.D.R.I. Fellowship, The Leverhulme Trust Artist Residency, Harvard University SAI Artist Residency, The Wellcome Trust Seed Grant, BGSW Artist residency and a Wellcome Collections/Gasworks Artist Residency. His works have been showcased at Bergen Assembly ‘16, Colomboscope ’19, Savvy Contemporary, and Art Jameel amongst others.

Amiya Ranjan Ojha (b.1998, Mogalpatana, Odisha) is a printmaker with a Masters in Printmaking from MSU, Baroda (2024). His work has been exhibited in the Students’ Biennale of Kochi-Muziris Biennale (2018, 2021). In 2023 he won the Odisha State Lalit Kala Academy Award for his work, Living, non-Leaving and the all India Gold Grant by Prafulla Dahanukar Art Foundation for his work, Midnight.
Ojha’s practice centres around the lived experience of migration, displacement and belonging. Through his time at art school, the artist has been introduced to several methods of printmaking but it is his relationship with woodblock printing which shows a clear affinity towards the medium. Ojha comes from a family of wood workers, his father a carpenter and his grandfather a doll maker. The print-maker has a natural understanding of the material, his inherited craft is evident in the fine lines, texture and depth he is able to establish in his work.

A graduate from LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore and Goldsmith’s University, London, Dipali Gupta has been awarded the Marian Treger Fellowship for Enduring Creativity, 2025 at Virginia Centre for Creative Arts, USA, was a finalist for The Sovereign Asian Art Prize, 2022 and is the winner of the Chan Davies Art Prize, 2018.
