Pushpamala N. is an independent artist, writer and curator, based in Bangalore. Much of her work engages with the construction of the feminine and the scaffolding of the nation state, expressed with sharp wit and humour. Starting off her career as a sculptor, Pushpamala began using photography and video in the mid -1990s, creating tableaux and photo-romances in which she casts herself in various roles, thereby placing herself as the artist at the centre of social and political inquiry. She has recently started doing live performance, where she creates similar theatrical mise-en-scenes.
