Nupur Manoj Sachdeva is a PhD candidate in Arts Administration, Education and Policy at The Ohio State University, specializing in Art Education and Cultural Policy & Arts Management. She is a researcher, educator, curator, and multidisciplinary artist. Through her art-based research practices she explores the themes of identity and belonging, translanguaging, post-coloniality of language, transnational feminist praxis, artivism and decolonizing theories. She has an extensive background in graphic design, textiles, retail, and management. With her interdisciplinary and global lived experiences, Nupur is interested in curating museum and community spaces that educate, advocate, and enhance intergenerational creative engagements.

Fun-fact: Nupur is multilingual and if she could have a superpower, it would be to learn every creature’s language.
