This episode we are hugely excited to be joined by the definition defying artist Dayanita Singh.
Based in New Delhi, India, Dayanita started taking photographs in the early 1980s, soon expanding into photojournalism. Her practice has grown to span photography, bookmaking, installations, and perhaps most famously since 2012, museum directing.
Her work has been presented at the Hayward Gallery in London, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt, the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, New Delhi, as well the Venice Biennale. Her work is also in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate in London, as well as the subject of several books.
She is the winner of multiple awards and perhaps most well-known for her Museum Bhavan, which won the 2017 PhotoBook of the Year in the Paris Photo–Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Awards and, in 2018, was awarded the Infinity Award of the International Center of Photography.
