Annu Yadav

The Ant Project presents Sedimento Interior, Annu Yadav’s open studio marking the conclusion of her two-month residency in Coyoacán, Mexico City.

Annu Yadav is a multimedia artist based in New York, born in Rajasthan, India. Her work spans painting and installation, creating immersive environments that explore the spaces between oppositions such as gender and geography, sacredness and violence, and the body and the earth.

Her practice examines how division takes root on both material and psychological levels, manifesting itself through territory, memory, and form.

In the artist’s words:

The body has always been central to my artistic practice. In this body of work, I examine how life leaves its mark on the body over time, both internally and externally. Time not only passes through us but also accumulates. Memories, expectations, and imagined futures settle silently within the body, shaping our posture, our resilience, and the way we move through the world. As a woman, this awareness of time entails particular tensions between anticipation and becoming, where hope, uncertainty, and lived experience converge within the body itself. This work also emerges within a broader context of instability and collective unease, in which history continues to influence the way we inhabit the present and conceive of the future.
