Aishwarya Kumar is a PhD candidate in Culture Studies at Universidade Católica Portuguesa and an FCT scholarship holder. A practice-based researcher, she is positioned at the intersection of corporeality, artistic research, political philosophy and cognition, currently examining practices of curiosity in contemporary conditions. With a B. Des in Information Arts and Information Design from India and an MA in Media Performance Studies from the Netherlands, her practice as an artist-curator departs from and revolves around questions concerning systems that examine and order the world – from form to practice –through performance. She specifically is interested in how bodies and the perceived hideousness of movement produce meaning, counter-normative spaces, relations, cultures, and knowledge. Her recent work and writings are available through Junctions Journal (2021), ARIAS, Amsterdam (2022), 4K/less (2023), Contemporânea (2024), ArteCapital (2024). She is on the advisory board of SPHERE and has an ongoing curatorial collaboration with Instytut B61. She recently curated the performance-ritual Orin Ifê by Nany Triangulo within the exhibition 'Making is Colder Than Capital' at Atelier Concorde.
