Suvani Suri

Suvani Suri works with sound, text and intermedia assemblages that think through modes of listening and voicing. Her artistic practice plumbs the gaps, cracks, absurdities and excesses embedded within the technological processes of production, mediation and perception of sound. This often takes the form of podcasts, objects, installations, mixtapes, workshops, curatorial propositions, publications, live/ discursive sessions and collective interventions. Alongside, she composes sound for video and performance works and has been teaching at several educational spaces where her pedagogical interests conflate with a sustained inquiry into the digital and sonic sensorium.  

Suvani’s works have been exhibited at Serendipity Arts Festival (2023), Kunsthalle Bern (2022), Five Million Incidents (2020), Khoj Curatorial Intensive South Asia (2019), Kochi-Muziris Biennale (2018), Mumbai Art Room (2018), Sound Reasons Festival VI (2018). As part of a collective inquiry, she co-conceived the project– Out of Line (2019), which received the FICA Public Art Grant (2021). She was one of the curators for the Students Biennale (Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2022) and is an artist/curator with the program Capture All: A Sonic Investigation, developed by Sarai (Delhi) and Liquid Architecture (Melbourne).
