NALINI MALANI
Akara Modern
Nalini Malani was born in 1946 in Karachi. She is a senior multimedia artist with an extensive exhibition history. Malani has extended her work into video plays and video/shadow plays. Her body of work includes painting, video, and installation art. Never the one to settle, Malani is a painter, filmmaker and photographer. In the 1980s, Malani moved away from the classical painting styles to experiment with installations, theatre, wall drawings, erasure performances and video/shadow plays. Malani’s commitment to her art and the underlying need to document what she sees and what society reveals makes her works profound and intense.
Over her lifetime Malani has received various awards, including an Honorary Doctorate in Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute (2010), the Fukuoka Arts and Culture Prize (2013), the St Moritz Art Masters Lifetime Achievement Award (2014), the Asian Art Game Changers Award (2016), and the Joan Miró Prize (2019), among earlier recognitions. Malani lives and works in Mumbai.
