Mandeep Singh  ਮਨਦੀਪ ਸਿੰਘNaarm Based Artist
Feed Overview

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.

Light Body ~ Water Body
Commissioned for the West Space Window as part of To Forever Ebb and Flow: Queer Time/Migrant Time, Curated by Aziz Sohail
Photographic installation, Marigold Garlands, Silver Anklets, Mala Beads 

“Light Body ~ Water Body connects the natural landscapes of bodies of water, such as rivers and creeks, to ancestral bodies, with the recognition that one’s own body exists as an altar to our ancestors.
An image of Mandeep’s friend (or dost) and fellow South Asian artist and collaborator, Parminder Kaur Bhandal shimmers in the sunlight, resembling an enlightened body and soul, honouring traditional Sikh painting. Parminder moves between being both seen/unseen and belonging/un-belonging. In traditional Sikh and Punjabi ritual, water has an immense capacity to purify and cleanse our body and soul.

The work includes marigolds, woven as a garland, evoking traditional South Asian rituals. The garland incorporates native flora, demonstrating diasporic adaptation both as an artistic strategy and a form of survival for migrants and queer communities.”
