Shivanjani Lal is a twice-removed Fijian-Indian-Australian artist and curator. As an artist living between Australia and the UK, she is tied to a long history of familial movement; her work uses personal grief to account for ancestral loss and healing.

She is a member of the indentured labourer diaspora from the Indian and Pacific oceans. She employs intimate images of family, sourced from photo albums, along with video and images from contemporary travels to the Asia-Pacific to reconstruct temporary landscapes. These landscapes act as shifting sites for diasporic healing - from which she emerges.

A fundamental concern in the work is how art develops and represents culture as it transitions between contexts, while also probing the experiences of women in these situations of flux.
