Rini Alphonsa Joseph

She is an artist, potter, writer and educator. she work at the intersection of material culture, identity and transmutation. The intent to decolonise and subvert the rules of discipline, language, imagery and material spearhead her work. she reiterate her personal identity and cultural narratives in her work that stitch into the history of marginalized folk.

Through her art, she aim to unearth forgotten pasts while envisioning a hybrid indigenous future. Her work is profoundly influenced by the anti-caste movement and its literature, which has fuelled her vision and creative drive. Her art empowers me to articulate narratives of memory, magic and transformation borrowed from her Adivasi and sea folk ancestry.
