Abhijna Vemuru

Abhijna, an artist from San Francisco, engages with themes of feminism, womanhood, and
mythology in her art. While painting is her primary medium, she also incorporates fiber art and
photography to challenge and explore the concept of femininity globally. Her work is enriched
by elements of Indian and Persian narratives. She honed her craft at the Art Institute of Chicago
as an undergraduate on a scholarship and furthered her education at the Royal College of Art in
London, broadening her artistic viewpoint. Beginning her exhibition journey at 16 in Hyderabad's Impact fundraiser, Abhijna's talent was recognized with the Martin Luther King
prize for her mural in Chicago. Her art has been showcased in various prestigious spaces
including the Alliance Francaise in Hyderabad, Sullivan Galleries in Chicago, and other galleries
in New York and London. In 2022, she published "The Feminine," a book presenting a series of
performances captured in photographs that dialogue with femininity in Indian society. Abhijnanow resides and works as a full-time artist in California's Bay Area.
