Pragya Kumar

My name is Pragya. I am a visual artist with 12 years experience in participatory, community arts, and wellbeing projects. I work as freelance arts practitioner for various organisations such as Emergency Exit Arts, Tate Britain, BBC, Creative Barking and Dagenham, to name a few. I also manage creative projects for Eltham Arts which is a local voluntary arts organisation where I have delivered high quality, immersive, and engaging arts projects, events and festivals working collaboratively with schools, partner organisations and multiple stakeholders. My current project is a research on Indian visual folk arts form funded by Arts Council England.
