  • Malavika Rao is a multidisciplinary artist and educator primarily working in painting, fiber, and installation. malavika's practice recontextualizes practices of homemaking as methods of worldmaking, using craft to heal generational trauma and tend to the fragile relationship between care and survival. In their installations, malavika employs various crafting practices as modes of speculative world-building—creating spaces to interrogate inherited structures of care and propose alternative relational frameworks grounded in reciprocity and collective sustenance.
