Inspired by comic book imagery and iconography from South Asia, Chitra Ganesh creates wondrous animations, bold and colorful paintings, and mixed media works that center women and queer perspectives. Rejecting traditional gender roles, Ganesh depicts female archetypes such as witches and goddesses that reimagine representations of femininity, sexuality, and power. Ganesh references ancient mythology, queer politics, old Bollywood poster and songs, and the erasure of South Asian history in her works.
