Ranjana Thapalyal is an inter-disciplinary artist and independent academic, based in Glasgow, Scotland. Her practice spans ceramics, painting, collaborative performance, creative and critical writing. Research has played a significant role in her work,

focussed on the nature of materials themselves in the early work, to broader philosophical concerns leading to written publications and collaborations in performance and sound. Of particular interest are concepts of ‘self’ in South Asian and West African traditions,

feminist readings of ancient philosophies of the South, cultural politics and the development of decolonising, anti-racist strategies for art pedagogy.
