“I believe that artists are myth-makers who shape the parameters of the possible. In my work, I explore transformation and the intersection between mythology and reality from diverse perspectives, to inspire social change.”
Director, photographer, multidisciplinary artist, female empowerment and social justice advocate Indrani is known by a single name for her “iconic imagery and visionary storytelling” according to Huffington Post. She is described as "dynamic... at the crossroads of pop culture and critical acclaim" by the Lincoln Center, which presented her major retrospective ICONS to accompany her book by the same name.
Indrani’s work has won 27 awards including The Tribeca Film Festival 2019 Disruptor Award, Best Picture and Best Director at the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival, two Gold Lions at Cannes Festival of Creativity, and Best Film at the CNN 2018 Expose Awards.
Across Indrani’s body of work, from film and photography to philanthropy and social activism, she uses art as a means of processing and reflecting upon questions of self and society, justice and hope, history and myth.
