Navjeet Kaur is an interdisciplinary artist, educator, and writer working across painting, sculpture, textile, sound, and performance. Her practice considers the body as an archive where breath, land, and lineage meet. Through sound objects, reimagined textile patterns, sculpture, and time-based media, she uses storytelling to explore memory and embodiment. She examines the passages of birth and death as sites of care and dignity, while confronting histories of sacrifice and state violence within her community.
