Shweta Bist is a South Asian American lens-based artist born in New Delhi, India and currently working and living in New York. Inspired by personal narratives, her photographic work is an exploration of maternal subjectivity.
​
With an interest in psychology and philosophy, Shweta uses metaphors of color, poetry, and symbolisms from nature and art history to explore identity, memories, perception, and emotions from a maternal and feminist perspective.
​
In addition to exhibitions in the United States, Canada, and the UK, Shweta has presented at academic and art conferences on M/other Studies in the US and UK. She is an artist mentor with Spilt Milk Gallery, Edinburgh, and is a founding member of Mother Creatrix Collective, a collective that supports the work of artist-mothers by creating exhibition opportunities for its members.
