KAJOLI
About
KAJOLI was born and grew up in Bangladesh. She studied Fine Art at Dhaka University (1998) and has a Masters degree in that subject from Visva-Bharati University in West Bengal, India (2003).
In her – ever evolving – artistic practice, KAJOLI experiments with different media, from photography and drawing to live performance, exploring issues of feminism, body politics and cross-cultural identity.
Through her art, she engages with the cultural expectations and ideological restrictions that confront her as a woman, as an artist and as an immigrant. Negotiating barriers of language – as well as staging her ‘otherness’ - she communicates using her body, gestural mark making, painting and voice.
KAJOLI now lives and works in London, UK to where she relocated in 2006.
