Kanishka Kanishka is an NYC-based conceptual artist and writer who explores interspecies collaboration and ecological entanglement as ways to reimagine archives, kinship, and knowledge. By proposing radical solidarities with her ecological allies and asserting the position of women as innovators, everyday rebels and aliens, she aims to establish a flat ontology in her proposed world. She completed her MFA in Photography from Parsons School of Design in 2025. She received the Student Research Travel award to investigate the rising Island Feminism in Hawaii. Her works were a part of Correspondence, at Baxter St, New York , Transcending Perspectives at Photoville, New York, Lishui Photography Festival in China, and Jaipur Arts Week in India. Her work was recently showcased in a public exhibit at Elizabeth Street Garden in New York. Her essays have been published in Back Matter Magazine, Rukhmabai Initiatives, an Exhibition Catalog, Columbia Journal (2026). Kanishka has shared her research through artist talks at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia and the Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art in Paris. She will speak about her new research at the national photography conference organised by Society of Photographic Education in Atlanta in March 2026.
