About the Artist
Monica Rani Rudhar is an artist based on Gadigal land, working across sculpture, video, and performance. Her practice explores the themes of longing and loss related to cultural identity, tracing intergenerational stories within her family to create space for imaginative possibilities. Born to Indian and Romanian migrant parents, her work is influenced by the forces of cultural conformity, essentialisation, and commodification within a settler colonial context. Rani Rudhar’s practice seeks to restore familial histories, traditions, and rituals that have been dispersed by the migration and displacement of her ancestors. Through her auto-ethnographic approach, she translates her family’s fragmented oral histories to reclaim narratives of relationships, resistance, and ritual. These stories intertwine, weaving a personal mythology that manifests their cultural fictions and futures in so-called Australia.
