Chitra Sangtani

 

Chitra Sangtani is a multidisciplinary artist and writer, currently based in Cairo. She is concerned with many social and political issues relating to human rights, and is continually testing different ways to address them. She currently researches mechanisms of secrecy, mythologies of water, and structures of survival and care. All of Chitra’s work is made in collaboration with others (their names are too many to mention here), and her practice does not exist without their energy. Notable works include her contributions to Mada Masr (2016); Zussammen Hier Wir Versammelt, a film made and screened in Oberrimbach, Germany (2015); "The Purge," a live, immersive installation and performance piece exhibited in Glasgow (2015), and ‘Run/Resume’, a short play performed in Glasgow (2014). She is Indian by birth and British by nationality.
