Avni Sethi

Avni Sethi is an interdisciplinary practitioner with her primary concerns lying between cultures of violence, memory, space and the body. She conceptualised and designed the Conflictorium, a Museum of Conflict in Ahmedabad and Raipur city and Mehnat Manzil, a Museum of work situated in Ahmedabad, Gujarat in 2013, 2022 and 2019 respectively.

Trained in multiple dance idioms, her performances are largely inspired by syncretic faith traditions and sites of contested narratives. She has been continually interested in exploring the relationship between intimate audiences and the performing body.

She currently lives and works in Ahmedabad, India.
