About

Rishika is a cultural geographer with research expertise in the field of Critical Heritage Studies, Southern Urbanism and Craft Economy from a postcolonial-decolonial thinking/practice. Her work spans across two broad research strands; a. meaning, production and politics of living heritage including craft, sacred sites, sound and smell of southern cities b. community-based economies in postindustrial and postcolonial contexts.

Methodologically she experiments with participatory research methods, art interventions along with ethnography. For example, see the following co-curated exhibitions and street festivals:
