Vinita Gatne is an artist, researcher and designer who is interested in creating spaces that traverse anecdotal and ephemeral stories which are otherwise disregarded in conventional recording practices.
Vinita studied architecture in Mumbai which steered her to work with communities focusing on impacts of capitalism and climate change on agriculture and fisheries. In 2016, she was awarded collaborative seed funding from the Wellcome Trust which explores the relationship between medicine and community lead charitable organizations in colonial Bombay. Alongside her research practice, Vinita works with installation art in an attempt to break away from linear storytelling practices.
Vinita received an honors in her MA degree from Dutch Art Institute where she developed her thesis that brings forth knowledges performed by emancipatory subaltern feminist groups by the way of protest songs and speeches in India.
Some of the films she has worked on include ‘Micro Resistances’ by Marwa Arsanios & ‘One Emerging From A Point of View’ by Wu Tsang.
