Salima Punjani
Salima Punjani is a multisensory artist grounded in relational aesthetics. A common thread through all of her work is the creation of environments that allow for receptivity of connection. She is particularly interested in how multiple senses can be used to expand the possibilities for people to feel welcome in art spaces as well as to create artful experiences of empathy, intimacy, and connection. Her recent work explores themes such as mutual care, collective grief, rest as resistance to systemic injustice and how medical data can be subverted into finding human connection rather than pathologies.
