Himali Singh Soin — À propos — Slash Paris

Born in 1987 in New Delhi, Himali Singh Soin lives and works between London and Delhi. As an artist and writer, she develops an interdisciplinary practice at the intersection of text, performance, moving image, and installation. Her work, nourished by metaphors drawn from the natural environment and cosmic space, constructs imaginary cosmologies that reveal the non-linear entanglements between human and non-human life. Singh Soin is particularly interested in questions of identity, ecological loss, and deep time, exploring narratives of migration, the search for shelter, and resilience.
Winner of the Frieze Artist Award in 2019, she was an artist in residence at Whitechapel Gallery (London), where she produced a series of “flash fictions” titled Ancestors of the Blue Moon, narrated from the perspective of Himalayan deities. Her recent exhibitions include The Third Pole (TBA21, Madrid, 2023), as grand as what (Serpentine Galleries, London, 2020), and participations in the Dhaka Art Summit and the Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean (Luxembourg, 2022). In 2025, her work was presented at the Institut du Monde Arabe (Paris) as part of the exhibition ARABOFUTURS.
Singh Soin is represented by galleries such as Green Art Gallery (Dubai) and Project Native Informant (London). Her approach, both poetic and critical, offers a rereading of colonial narratives and a reflection on possible futures.
