Biography
Sujatro Ghosh is a Bi-centenary Post Graduate Research scholar at The University of Manchester and a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores the intersections of history, performance, and archival studies. Rooted in South Asia yet extending transnationally, his work addresses hunger, migration, and memory, with a sustained focus on the Bengal Famine of 1943 through embodied and collaborative methods, he combines ethnographic research, oral testimony, and archival fragments with performance, film, and installation to build alternative archives that foreground marginalized voices. His works have been a part of institutions such as the MARKK Museum, Tokyo Metropolitan, Venice Biennale, Berliner Festspiele and many more.
