Ayesha Singh’s (b. 1990, India) works question dominant perspectives embedded in our understanding of the past, embodied by architecture and urban planning. Her site-specific responses consider how built spaces reflect the intricate politics inherent in nation-building exercises, reveal power dynamics, respond to migration and displacement, or function as a location of identity- embodying aspiration, desire, and belief. 

Informed by her personal experiences of loss and concurrent displacement from her childhood home, her practice stems from its architectural peculiarities from her memories to the theoretical exploration of a space’s historical and social contexts. Through research and critical spatial interventions, Singh works within gaps in cultural histories, including those that have long excluded women. 

Her work emphasizes collaboration and coexistence to unpack layers of alteration and the erasure of lived history through construction, restoration, and destruction. Singh's practice contains participatory performances with poetry, kinetic sculptures, sculptural line-drawings, video, graphite drawings on paper, and public installations of scaffold and images that are created with community involvement.
