Visual artist Nalini Malani (CRF 2003) was recently named a 2023 Kyoto Prize Laureate in the Arts. Malani creates phantasmagorical spaces using various media such as video, painting, drawing, and installation. In 2017, she became the first contemporary Indian artist to have a retrospective exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Through her work, Malani pioneers artistic expression that brings the voices of the voiceless to a larger audience. She is active globally as a non-Western artist, contributing greatly to current trends reconsidering Western-centrism in art. The Kyoto Prize is an international award of Japanese origin, presented to individuals who “contribute to the progress of the future of humanity while maintaining a balance between the development of science and civilization and the enrichment of the human spirit.” Learn more here.
