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 symbolism from nature and art history to explore identity, memory, perception, and emotion 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. In 2022, she co-founded Mother Creatrix Collective to support member artist-mothers through critique, skill-sharing, and exhibition opportunities.
