Ravi Agarwal

A well-known environmental activist, Ravi Agarwal, effectively bridges the gap between art and activism. Within his artistic practice he has been exploring the idea of nature epistemologically interrogating the manner in which it is constructed. He highlights the complex relationship that exists between Labour, Capital, Production, and Caste and its association with Ecology at large. Acknowledging that reality itself comprises multiple perceptions, Ravi utilizes the possibilities offered by the digital to metamorphose his images into alternative worlds. At times, the artist’s own body becomes a site depicting the condition of the labouring body through which he highlights the hierarchies prevalent in a rigidly defined power structures.

His works have been shown widely including at 2016 Kochi-Muziris Biennale, 2013 Sharjah Biennale; Documenta XI in 2002 et cetera.
