Eshwarya Grover

Hi, I’m a visual artist and filmmaker from India. I’ve studied Film & Video Communication at the National
Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, and have had my work exhibited at the Louvre, Paris and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin. I’m also a recipient of the Toto Award for Film from Toto Funds the Arts.

My body of work is an exploration of visual language that references my background in architecture and film. Across mediums, my work follows paths of inquiry to examine the layered histories of objects and spaces.
