Manjari Goteti is an Indian artist whose practice investigates domestic spaces, familial rituals, and social thresholds as sites where belonging and exclusion are negotiated. Drawing from personal history, Indian mythologies, and regional traditions, their work examines how power structures around gender, sexuality, caste, and religion are embedded within everyday practices. Trained in painting, Goteti works across installation, video, and object-based forms, using subversion and intervention to question inherited ideas of purity, identity, and access.
