    Tulika Ladsariya

    In-Session

    Trained in painting, Tulika Ladsariya is frequently drawn to objects associated with traditional women’s work using domesticity and nurture to discuss personal history, addressing the political through the personal. Born in Mumbai, India and living in Chicago, USA, her work is an exploration of layered identity – as an Indian-born woman, a first-generation immigrant, and a mother.
    Image description: In this image, Tulika is standing wearing a green jumpsuit made from her mother’s sari and holding her 5 year daughter wearing a lehenga in her arms. The backdrop is her home, filled conservatory-style with plants that she has grown over the past 5 years in her condo, the most striking being her 15 ft tall fiddle leaf fig. The photo was taken by her husband, Alok, before an onam lunch (traditional Indian festival).
