My work explores the questions of representation, materiality, identity, construction of meaning, and production of knowledge in museums against the backdrop of institutional power dynamics and intertwined fields of politics, economics, and scholarship.

I also take great pleasure in learning about the cultural and spiritual traditions of ancient societies and the role of material culture of religion and devotion in constructing and understanding the past. Through this lens, I examine museums as key institutions in making our shared cultural heritage accessible, understandable, and relatable in the most meaningful ways today.

This website serves as a space to reflect on and share my past and current museum and academic work with the hope that you will find it meaningful, thought-provoking, and motivating.
