Nimisha Bhanot is a visual artist whose work challenges and critiques the socio-political role of women and femmes from an integrative bicultural perspective, accepting and rejecting aspects of South Asian and North American culture. Her current research interests take a step back by utilizing the personal archive as a starting point and investigating the complex, interwoven relationship between transitional objects, potential spaces, quotidian archival practices, and South Asian diasporic identity formation. Bhanot received her BFA in Drawing and Painting from OCAD University in 2013 and a Master of Visual Studies from the University of Toronto in 2023. Her work has been profiled by BuzzFeed, BBC, Huffington Post, Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, and CBC Arts, among others.
