RESIDENT RESEARCHER

Neeti Sivakumar is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Brooklyn, New York. She works at the intersection of sociology of space and technology. Her practice focuses on the ‘production of space’, that is, space constructed through activities, interactions, and perceptions, and what it means for marginalized communities to occupy space visibly. She believes in a participatory approach to reflect and critique structures of inequality and access. Her work encompasses a variety of mediums including architecture drawings, crafted spaces, sculptures, video, internet art, augmented reality, and generative artificial intelligence.

She is a trained architect from India, and has received grants from the Goethe-Institut Mumbai, ZKM, Karlsruhe, and BeFantastic Bangalore and a recipient of HEAR US (Honoring, Elevating, and Recapitalizing Underrepresented Stories) award.
