Priya Dave
Priya Dave’s multidisciplinary practice explores the interweaving of neuroscience, mental health, sensory perception, and Indian cultural inheritance. Working across painting, printmaking, installation, video, performance, and multisensory environments, she investigates how culturally embedded experiences shape memory, identity, and the body. She incorporates materials such as spices, fabric, natural pigments, sound, light, and scent, recontextualizing their traditional meanings within contemporary forms. Through immersive and tactile encounters, Dave translates psychological and neurological processes into spatial experience. Her work transforms deeply personal and culturally specific experiences into broader conversations about perception, vulnerability, belonging, and the ways individuals navigate inherited structures.
