Debjani Banerjee

Debjani Banerjee is an artist whose diverse body of work spans various mediums, including sculpture, textiles, performance, dance, film, and participatory collaborative making. Her artistic practice challenges reductive dualisms often found in post-colonial narratives, such as the dichotomies of Indian versus Western, White versus Brown, and Male versus Female. By doing so, Banerjee’s work aims to present more nuanced and playful representations of cultural plurality, contemporary South Asian womanhood, and the broader human experience.

Banerjee’s interests are not limited to her own creations; she is deeply engaged in workshops, participatory practices, and archival research. These elements are integral to her approach, as they foster community involvement and deeper explorations into historical and cultural contexts. Her work often involves collaboration, inviting participants to contribute to the artistic process, thereby enriching the dialogue around identity, culture, and belonging.
