About

Radha is a storyteller whose work intersects across colonialism, nature, religion, rituals, language, folklore and speculative futures. Writing is at the heart of her practise so any work that she makes always involves a text, alongside a physical or tangible element that people can interact with such as sculptures, prints, drawings, audio, installations, films and an invented language called Etsolstera.

Radha’s practise is about folklore as resistance.

Throughout history, humans have travelled fluidly between our world and the ‘underworlds’ or ‘otherworlds’.

Folklore tells us so much about what we can learn from these travels including how people resisted colonisation, re-built what was destroyed and practised solidarity with other species. 

Radha’s practise explores folklore as resistance, researching folklore throughout history and using storytelling to build new ways of re-connecting us to our human and more than human ancestors and all the delicate magic that is being lost through colonisation. She works with older and existing folklore from Wales and India and also invents new rituals, methodologies and objects to summon these ancestors and ask for their friendship, knowledge and guidance to subvert systems of capitalism, racism and war and build new systems centering compassion and kinship.
