Kinnari Saraiya
Kinnari Saraiya (born 1998, Bombay) is a London-based artist, curator, and worldbuilder working across film, immersive digital environments, sculpture, installation, animation, and drawing.
Her interdisciplinary practice blends ancient myths, sensorial storytelling, and feminist, decolonial thought to construct hybrid narratives that transcend visual imperiality. Through the fusion of traditional and contemporary tools, such as dance, music, and interactive technology, her work becomes a portal between past and future, material and virtual worlds.
Saraiya's recent solo show In the Eye of a Dream premiered at the 2025 Brighton Festival and Phoenix Art Space, exploring colonial surveillance of indigenous dreamworlds.
Her expanded film Tarang was featured at CPH:DOX 2025, combining textiles and motion-captured Indian classical dance to reframe dreams as radical archives.
Saraiya is currently developing a new body of work commissioned by University of Edinburgh in collaboration with Adobe and the Content Authenticity Initiative, investigating the use of AI in rendering speculative geographies and maps, critically engaging the politics of place-making.
