Aninda Varma

Aninda is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans ceramics, textiles, and painting, rooted in the rich craft traditions of India while engaging deeply with contemporary themes of identity, allyship, and belonging. With formal training in fine arts from Maharaja Sayajirao University, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and Sotheby’s Institute of Art, her work bridges cultural memory and modern expression.
Her ceramic vessels function as more than objects—they are storytellers, carrying layered narratives that challenge dominant histories and invite intimate reflection. Informed by her experiences across India, the UK, and the US, Aninda explores the fluid spaces between tradition and innovation, craft and concept, self and society. Through her work, she creates a space of solidarity, encouraging dialogue, collective memory, and the reimagining of shared futures.
