Profile

Dhiraj Rabha is a visual artist based in India. Born in Borali Gaon, Assam, and raised in an ex-ULFA detention camp in Goalpara, Dhiraj explores themes of displacement, identity, and resilience. His practice, primarily in painting, delves into the socio-political narratives of his surroundings, often reflecting his personal experiences and cultural heritage.

Dhiraj's notable projects include exhibitions at the Serendipity Arts Festival curated by Vidya Sivadas and the Next-Step Residency by Sher-Gil Sundaram Arts Foundation. He has been recognized with the Generator Cooperative production fund by Experimenter (2023-24) and a Production Grant under the Art Practice Program from India Foundation for the Arts (IFA) in 2022.
