Mandeep Singh  ਮਨਦੀਪ ਸਿੰਘNaarm Based Artist

South Asian artist living, learning and working on unceded Wurundjeri land. Employing experimental photography and sculpture to explore themes of cultural and personal memory, Singh’s practice allows her to relearn her Sikh identity from a diasporic positionality. A major interest for Mandeep is collaboration, letting go of ego and allowing art to be made by multiple hands. This can elevate work and create a space for artists and materials to speak with one another.
Singh reinvents the past and present through diverse materials, often working with natural and found objects.

Undertsanding the imporatnce that kitchens play within diasporic community’s, this work remenisces on the importance of Langar within the Sikh community. Langar being a kitchen within Gurdwaras, where anyone - regardless of caste or background - eats for free. These kitchens are found around the world and feed up to hundreds daily. Langar is a spiritual practice, rooted in ideas of equality and humility as those who enter are seated on the floor with thalis awaiting their meal.
Honouring the Langar, a communal meal was free for all to eat on opening night.
