- Kayal Arivalan catches up with the artist

Moving between Hyderabad, Chicago, London, and San Francisco, Abhijna Vemuru Kasa's artistic journey has had no boundaries – literally! Her practice, rooted in lived experience and shaped by transnational education, is all about femininity and the body, done through painting, textiles, performance, and emerging digital explorations. Whether working with skin, thread, or canvas, Abhijna's art consistently confronts silences around womanhood, motherhood, and mental health, while remaining anchored in Indian traditions and rituals.
