Nirvana Haldar is a visual artist and writer, based in Tāmaki Makaurau. She wobbled to Aotearoa from Mumbai in 2018, and has since been scratching her way through themes of memory and time in her work. She writes for stage and occasionally for screen.
Nirvana writes: ‘This portrait was taken by my friend Shivani, right before I left home and had turned 18.’
