Hemangini Maharaul (b. 1990) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores mountain environments in transition and the forces reshaping them. Over the years, her practice has evolved toward natural materials drawn from the landscape itself, like slate, stone and plant matter. Her work is research-led, built through time spent in conservation areas and remote villages, learning from the ecological knowledge and land-based practices of local communities across the Himalaya, Sahyadri and Nilgiri. Her drawings and engravings explore the transformations unfolding across mountain landscapes and the communities connected to them, a concern she also carries into performance and writing. Through botanical prints, Hemangini reimagines 'the inkblot test' and documents the flora of the mountains, exploring psychoanalysis and migration.
