About the artist

Ankita Bhat is a Singaporean-Indian designer whose work explores the beauty of cultural diaspora and intergenerational experience, drawing motifs and rituals from her maternal history and lineage to invite those who view her work to slow down, ask questions, and share a private experience with her through her objects. She takes the time to critically investigate her past through her writing practice while engaging in deep material research to come up with linguistic considerations for her work as well as the development of colors, stains, and composites. Currently, Ankita is working towards a BFA’26 in Furniture Design at the Rhode Island School of Design, where her work has been shown at the National Hand Paper Maker’s Conference, the Regenerative Earth Collective, and the RISD Museum’s student gallery.

Her work Dobara (again), is a reclining chair (yantra - an object that facilitates sound) that allows the body to create repetitive sound by facilitating ringing of bells (mantra - a repeated ritualistic sound), resulting in tantra- the marriage of mantra and yantra facilitated by the body. Sound tells the world that you are here, and one must make their presence known, again and again.
