The multi-media artist Surekha Kumar was born in 1965 and lives and works in Bangalore, India. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science at the Bangalore University. She also studied Fine Arts at Ken School of Arts and graduated in 1992 with a Master’s degree of Fine Arts at the Vishwabharanthi University, Santiniketan. Kumar has been exploring the possibilities of the video form as a self conscious choice. She negotiates the public and private realm with ease, transcending genres and locating the body as a site of contestation and appropriation. Her feminist aesthetics and cutting edge strategies move beyond the confinement of two-dimensionality, into a multidisciplinary approach. She uses photography and video to archive, document, perform and masquerade.
