Chandigarh Artist Kanishka Puri Awarded Prestigious En Foco Fellowship
Chandigarh 8 July ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : Young Chandigarh-based artist Kanishka Puri has been awarded the internationally acclaimed En Foco Fellowship, a prestigious honor recognizing artists whose creative practice offers compelling perspectives on society, identity, memory, and the human experience. Kanishka’s artistic practice explores personal archives, matrilineal histories, and the relationship between humans and nature. Drawing on her background in science, her work uniquely bridges biology, scientific inquiry, and contemporary art.
In her recent projects, Kanishka has been experimenting with Physarum polycephalum (slime mold), a single-celled organism renowned for its remarkable problem-solving abilities despite lacking a brain or nervous system. Through this unusual medium, she investigates the interconnectedness of nature, memory, and human existence. Her work focuses on family histories, women’s lived experiences, and humanity’s relationship with the natural world. It also highlights the often-overlooked labor of women and non-human organisms, drawing attention to forms of care and work frequently rendered invisible within social and capitalist systems.
Expressing her gratitude, Kanishka Puri said, “I am deeply honored to receive the En Foco Fellowship. This recognition encourages me to continue bringing forward the stories of the women in my community and to explore our profound connections with the natural world.” The En Foco Fellowship is internationally recognized for supporting diverse and independent voices in art and photography. It provides artists with resources to develop ambitious projects, connect with the global arts community, and expand their international creative presence. Kanishka Puri’s achievement marks a significant milestone in her artistic journey from Chandigarh to the global stage and is being celebrated as a proud moment for the city’s art community.
