Ashwini Bhat: Being, Longing鈥�
Bay Area artist Ashwini Bhat鈥檚 site-specific installation ties together and is concurrent to the three exhibitions forming Centering: Clay and Community at the Palo Alto Art Center, addressing themes of identity, sustainability, and highlighting performance and installation.
Being, Longing鈥� will include three works by Bhat: a performance video with sound projected on unfired clay, a limited-edition neon installation, and a large-scale glazed ceramic mandala created collectively by public participation during the 2025 Montalvo Art Center Summer Festival Montalvo Funk.
After thirty-five years in Southern India, multidisciplinary artist Ashwini Bhat now lives and works in the foothills of Sonoma Mountain, California. Coming from a background in literature and classical Indian dance, Bhat works in sculpture, installation, ceramics, video, text, and performance developing a unique visual language to explore the intersections between body and nature, self and other.
