Multidisciplinary artist and educator. Roshni lives and works in London.
Roshni is an artist and arts educator who works with installation, sound, radio, moving image and performance practices. Her work is often exhibited in site specific interventions and scenarios, enabling the audience to experience her work in unexpected ways in and outside traditional gallery spaces. Roshni founded Rounded Radio in 2015, an online listening radio station dedicated to discovering, supporting and showcasing a wide range of sound, music and radio work by local and international artists. This interest in broadcast also informs her practice led research into sound practices, the voice, storytelling and community in public and private spaces.
