Nidhi Bodana

My art practice is born out of a profound commitment to the power of art as a medium for connection, transformation, and collective storytelling. I believe that art is not merely an object or an aesthetic experience but a living dialogue, an ongoing process that bridges personal histories, social realities, and cultural identities. Rooted in a multidisciplinary approach, my work engages with sculpture, performance, installation, and participatory practices to create spaces where stories that often remain hidden or unheard can emerge with dignity and presence.
