Manju Sharma
peopleManju Sharma is a visual artist and writer. She was born in India, brought up in the UK, and now lives in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Manju’s work is focused on the examination of colonial heritage, mental health and partition, and by practising modes of care and speculative healing. Her artistic practice is a poetical languaging consisting of story-telling, performance, voice, film, sewing, and drawing-painting. She investigates silences through spectral systems of utterances, rituals, food, internalised conversations, and imaginations.
Manju is a tutor at Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU), where the Tools for the Times project, a student-teacher initiative, has been self-organising since a series of xenophobic opinions became apparent in 2018. It is supported by the HKU B.A. Fine Art, B.A. Fine Art and Design in Education, M.A. in Fine Art, and alumni. Tools for the Times has been active in collaboration with Platform BK, Casco, and other bodies, organising open sessions on re-orientating academic institutions.
