Anshika Varma

Anshika Varma’s practice engages with images and the many worlds that reside within it. Working across photography, publishing, and curation, she investigates how personal, collective, and mythical histories shape relationships between individuals and their environments. Her work foregrounds memory, inheritance, and loss, exploring the quiet materiality of objects as vessels of identity and sites of shared experience.

Central to her practice is the book as both an artistic medium and a democratic space, one that resists exclusivity and expands access to artistic expression. This ethos guides Offset Projects, the publishing imprint, art-book library, and curatorial initiative she founded. Through collaborative and experience-led programs in photography including exhibitions, residencies, workshops, reading rooms, artist talks, and decentralized formats of publishing, she positions the book as a site of companionship and support, centering relationship-building as the core tenet of building work.
