Shilpa Rangnekar is a visual artist, curator and arts administrator with over a decade of experience, dedicated to creating immersive, community-driven art experiences. Her multidisciplinary practice spans socially engaged art, research-based projects, functional art, and interactive performances, often exploring the nuances of everyday life and human behaviour.

As the Programme Director of Sandarbh, she developed and led projects that engage artists and local communities, curating residencies, exhibitions and fostering experimental artistic approaches. She is deeply invested in exploring new modalities of viewership and public participation, redefining how art is experienced.

She is also the Co-founder of Monolith, a studio that operates at the intersection of art and design, creating functional art and collectable objects that challenge the boundaries between utility and artistic expression. Monolith curates and produces functional art that seamlessly merges aesthetics and utility, sparking dialogue on contemporary artistic practices.

Currently, she is also associated with Artcore, a UK-based charity arts organisation, where she develops programmes, liaises with artists, and curates exhibitions.

Previously, she held key roles at Space Studio and Ark Foundation for the Arts, managing projects and exhibitions, and facilitating artist collaborations. Her work has taken her across India and globally, allowing her to build an extensive network and foster cross-cultural artistic exchanges that continue to shape her practice and curatorial vision.
