Tejal Shah
Tejal Shah (born in Bhilai, India; lives in New Delhi, India) is interested in how gender, ecology, science, and sexuality relate to each other. A practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism and permaculture, Shah seeks to expand ways of establishing connections with other forms of subjectivity and with Earth. Shah’s transdisciplinary practice, enlightened by Buddhist and queer thought, challenges dualistic systems in which the components are perceived as disjointed and opposed. Issues related to violence, power, love, and regeneration are probed in Shah’s videos and performances and, more recently, explored during workshops and in practical and theoretical study programs.
