Nisha Duggal
Nisha Duggal works across media to explore expressions of freedom in the everyday. She is interested in the transformative qualities of making and doing, engineering situations that uncover deep-seated primitive impulses to connect. She is one of D6's residence artists taking part in Designs on Heritage, a new residency inviting exploration of ideas and narratives around cultural heritage.
Nisha studied Fine Art at Derby and The Slade, and lives and works in London. She is currently working on Wanderings, a participatory commission for Bethlem Gallery and the NHS that will be presented as a series of permanent works for London’s new mental health facility, New Douglas Bennett House, opening in 2024.
Nisha works internationally including installations at ArtNight and Watermans (London), Arnolfini (Bristol), Ginza Art Lab (Tokyo), Baltic (Gateshead) and Oriel Mostyn (Llandudno) with screenings at Videobabel (Cusco, Peru), European Media Art Festival (Osnabrueck, Germany), Rekalde (Bilbao, Spain), Cornerhouse (Manchester) and Iniva (London).
She has been awarded commissions by Site Gallery (Sheffield) and Contemporary Art Forum (Kitchener, Ontario) and was shortlisted for the Jerwood Moving Image Awards in 2008 and the Jerwood/Umbrella Moving Image Awards in 2013. Between 2018-22, Nisha was artist-in-residence for Walthamstow Wetlands, The National Trust at Powis Castle in Wales, Royal Overseas League and In Situ.
