MM SHASHWATH India, b. 1992
"The Space 118 fine arts Grant helped me realize my project with the creative freedom I wouldn't have had, without the financial aid. The mentorship sessions from a senior artist were extremely helpful during this time. The grant went beyond just giving financial aid as it gave me access and opportunity to gather insights from some of the most respected members of the art community."
MM Shashwath (b.1992, New Delhi, India) completed his Master’s Degree in Contemporary Art Practice, Srishti Institute, Bangalore 2016-18, his Masters Certificate in Transdisciplinary Arts, Angewandte Kunst, Vienna, 2017-18.

When he isn’t in the field working on a project or collaborating with other creatives, he works out of his studio in New Delhi creating small sculptures, digital content, and paintings. His work is inspired by an intersection of conceptual art and dadaism with a strong design influence. Shashwath’s message through his work is about being more conscious of the world around you and learning to look at the same thing through different lenses.
He lives and works in New Delhi.
