I was born in Manchester to Bengali parents and is now based in Nottingham, UK. I actively work nationally and internationally taking my practice to different cities and spaces. She is a visual artist, international curator, creative mentor, art lecturer and tutor, workshop leader, on the board for Nottingham Women's Centre and Axisweb.

My practice involves fictional narratives, a play on found visuals, language and text. This is done through manipulating images, experimental photography, direct animation, analogue film and text. I am interested in correspondence, communication, connectivity and collaboration and this is extended through my international curatorial projects. My current work is about distance stories, travel and identities. I go somewhere, get lost and collect found and hidden images embedding narratives within them. I document stories from my own and others experiences. Some are about political responses and reactions, cultural and language boundaries, human interactions; bringing different fragments of cultures into one space
