Mithu Sen lives and works in New Delhi, India. Her practice stems from a conceptual and interactive background woven into drawing, poetry, moving images, installations, sculptures, sound and performances.
With life being the central medium of her practice, she pushes the limits of acceptable language, questioning our pre-codified hierarchical etiquettes in society within the politics of tabooed (cultural and gendered) identity/psycho-sexuality, radical hospitality and lingual anarchy.
She has exhibited widely at museums, institutions, galleries and biennales including the Guggenheim Museum, New York; Tate Modern, London; the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, India.
She has been awarded the Prudential Eye Award for contemporary Asian art in drawing 2015 and the Skoda award on best Indian contemporary art for the year 2010.
