CV

Lives and works in New Delhi

Ravi Agarwal is an artist, environmental activist, writer and curator. His earlier work, in the documentary oeuvre, encompasses ‘nature’, ‘work,’ ‘labour,’ and the ‘street,’ while more recent work has been traversing questions of the self and ecological sustainability based on explorations of ‘personal ecologies.’ He now works with photography, video and installation.


His art practice is integral to his other pursuits. He is the founder of the well known Indian NGO Toxics Link. He has been invited by the City of Hamburg and the Goethe Institute to cocurate a twin city public art project to be held simultaneously in Hamburg and Delhi, in October/ November 2011.
