Maithili Bavkar

Maithili Bavkar is an artist based in New Delhi. She completed her MA in Visual Arts from Ambedkar University, Delhi and has been Artist–in–residence for KHOJ PEERS in 2025. She works with text across various mediums like artist books, poetry, installation, photography, and video. She is particularly interested in the multiple lives of text, as the written, printed, scribbled, spoken, coded, patented, repeated or recycled word, and how meaning shifts as it moves between forms. Her recent work explores the relationship between memory and technology, particularly how digital devices archive, mediate, and transform personal and collective forms of remembering. 

Recent exhibitions include Today is hard to remember, Khoj PEERS Residency Open Studio, Delhi (2025); Into the Midst, by Studio CAMP (2024–25); BOOK SHOW-I by Priyesh Gothwal (2024–25); TEXTXET at The Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art (FICA) Delhi (2023); Democracy - The Endangered Bird, Act I, at Art Zita House, Stockholm, Sweden (2023) and collective group exhibitions by The Crown Letter Project at Institut français de Prague (2023) and Fondation Fiminco, Paris (2021).
