Richa Arya

Richa Arya is a contemporary sculptor whose practice centers on the transformation of repurposed scrap metal into intricate installations that interrogate the gendered dimensions of labor. Drawing from the domestic lives of women in urban Haryana and the experiences of migrant women in Delhi, her work reframes industrial materials as powerful symbols of feminized labor and resilience.
Arya holds a BFA in Sculpture from Kurukshetra University and an MFA from the College of Art, University of Delhi. Her work has been exhibited at leading platforms such as the India Art Fair, Triveni Art Gallery, and the Serendipity Arts Festival. She has been awarded residencies by KHOJ, Serendipity Arts, and Dotwalk, and is the recipient of several honors, including the Imaginarium Emami Art Award (2023) and the Prafulla Dhanukar All India Merit Award (2021).
