Artist

As an artist I am interested in writing, theater and multi sensorial storytelling. Most of the time my creative practice get intertwined with my educational practice.

I don’t know why I create, I think this is the way I make sense and realte to the world outside and inside.

• I write poems, essays and stories, mostly in Gujarati & Hindi. Sometimes I experiment with mediums like story‘telling’, theater and puppets.

• I doodle, sketch, paint with water colors

• Through my non-fiction writing work, I share my experiences of working with children, pedagogical experiments and educational philosophy.

This page is a living portfolio of my creative practice as a writer, performer, and maker.
