Hi, I am Komal Jain, an artist and designer-researcher based in India.
My practice lies at the intersection of art, science and political ecology with a focus on gender and sexuality. I recently curated and produced an exhibition called Ever Met an 'Ugly' Flower? Exhibition at Archives at NCBS.
Being media agnostic, I primarily work on exhibitions, museum interpretation and public engagement based design projects. I recently designed an interactive website for Daniel Alexander Jones' new work, The Hanged Man and researched and developed a museum interpretation plan for Maharashtra University of Health Sciences.
