Anoushka Mirchandani

Anoushka Mirchandani (b. 1988, Pune, India) is an Indian-born, California-based artist. Mirchandaniʼs practice examines her patchwork identity and experience as an Indian, Immigrant, Other, Woman. Her work probes ancestry, personal history, cultural and sociopolitical environments through a diasporic lens, exploring the micro-tensions and identity transformations that are part and parcel of code-switching and assimilation in a foreign land. She works across multiple media to create figurative and abstract artworks that embody the emotions of what it feels like to be a woman in society today.

In 2017 and 2018, Anoushka was selected as a showcase visual artist for Kearny Street Workshop, the oldest Asian Pacific American multidisciplinary arts organization in the US. In 2019, she was selected to show her work at CA State Senator, Scott Wienerʼs public offices. In 2022, she was awarded the San Francisco Artist Grant (SFA) by the San Francisco Arts Commission. She has participated in multiple residencies including The Wassaic Project, Silver Arts Projectsʼ Digital Residency, Global Coralition, KYTA and Aegean Idea Lab.
