​​​​PRAGYA BHARGAVA

Pragya Bhargava (b.1992) is an interdisciplinary researcher, artist and art educator. She works at the intersection of art and science to investigate the patterns and principles that form our understanding of the universe. Within intricately tessellating systems, she searches for anomalies that may reveal new information about the fundamental essence of things and phenomena. She uses slow, detail-oriented processes that involve repetitive mark-making to allow time for reflection and deliberation. 

 

Pragya has received her MRes Fine Art and Humanities from the Royal College of Art, London, BSc Physics from IGNOU and BFA from Lasalle College of the Arts (Goldsmiths’College). She is the co-author of Artist Collectives: Conversations, Methods and Practices (2024).

 

Pragya has exhibited at Watford Museum and Design Museum, UK; Vienna Contemporary Art Space, Austria; Al Badad, Saudi Arabia; National Centre for Biological Sciences, India; Ministry of Communications and Information, Singapore, among others. She is a recipient of Karamveer Puraskar-National Award for Social Justice and Citizen Action, Winston Oh Travel Award, Artreach- Kiran Nadar Museum of Art Teaching Fellowship and the National Centre for Biological Sciences archival research and exhibition grant.
