Kanika Anand is the Senior Curator at Contemporary Calgary, Canada, and co-curator of the Indian Ceramics Triennale, India. Her curatorial approach focuses on placemaking and social practices that interrogate structures of power and modes of engagement. Through a lens of interstitial discourse, constructs of time, social space, and traces of mobility remain key areas of interest and research. She has worked extensively with galleries and institutions across North America, France, and India, as well as written for art journals like Ocula, Art India, and Art Basel, and has contributed to several books on contemporary art.
