Shabari Rao

is an artist and academic from Bangalore, India. Her work is rooted in practice-based research and engages with education, mental health, gender, and the environment.

Over the last 20 years her work has been presented through conferences, festivals, residencies, and publications, in cities across the world such as Sydney, Shanghai, Kathmandu, Singapore, London, New York and several cities in India. Her current projects include being the lead researcher for Open Invitation which is a multi-art, yearlong collaboration with Sonic Matter, Zurich; and Still Standing 4 which is a 12-hour immersive performance experience that builds on her previous work on stillness and has been commissioned by HelloEarth, Sweden.

Inside Information

mapping the inside to the outside

In this workshop, close attention is paid to the information on the inside of the body and then that information is translated into large, life-sized body maps that get layered and developed with each session. What could information from inside the body be? And how do we observe it? Most often we think of observation as a visual act, that is performed through the eyes. But when we are observing sensation, especially within the body, other faculties become activated. With practice one might become aware of sensations that might be less obvious.
