How to pronounce my name
I would like to acknowledge the Lenni Lenape peoples who are the original and continued rightful stewards of the land that I love and on which I work and reside.
I am a Telugu-American cross-disciplinary artist, coder, and educator based in Lenapehoking (Brooklyn, NY). I often use personal and institutional archival materials, combining computational and analog techniques like machine learning & printmaking to create artwork about intergenerational/collective memory and overlooked relationships & histories. My creative work has been supported by institutions such as The Photographers' Gallery, ETOPIA Center for Art & Technology, Fotomuseum Winterthur, and LES Printshop. I work as a designer/developer for The Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network, creating digital spaces and tools. I am currently an artist-in-residence at Center for Book Arts.
