Himali Singh Soin

Himali Singh Soin, born 1987 in New Delhi, is an Indian writer and artist, who currently lives and works between London and New Delhi.

Singh Soin works across text, performance and moving image and has described her practice as “utilizing metaphors from the natural environment to construct speculative cosmologies that reveal non-linear entanglements between human and non-human life”. Her inspirations are drawn from a wide array of fields, ranging from environmental history to contemporary fiction.

Singh Soin holds an MFA from Goldsmiths, University London. In 2017, she participated in an artist residency in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard and went to Antarctica for National Geographic magazine, cumulating in the on-going series of works entitled ‘we are opposite like that’. 

Singh Soin has exhibited internationally including at the Art Institute of Chicago, Serpentine Galleries, Dhaka Art Summit, Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Somerset House and Leeum Museum. She has won the India Foundation for the Arts Award 2014 and the Frieze Artist Award 2019.

Singh Soin also creates work with David Soin Tappeser under the collective 'Hylozoic/Desires'.
