Anindita Dutta is an Indian-born sculptor, installation, and performance artist who transforms resilience and trauma into a radical visual language. Through hyper-intense sculptural expressions, she deconstructs the complex terrains of female identity—mapping the intricate landscapes of pain, pleasure, vulnerability, and strength. Her work has been exhibited both in the US and internationally, including at the Sean Kelly Gallery in New York; Fukuoka Asian Art Museum in Japan; Arthur M. Sackler Museum of Art and Archaeology in Beijing, China; and CAMAC in Marney-sur-Seine, France, among others. She has received numerous prestigious grants and fellowships, such as the 2022 TOY Fellow and the 2022 NXTHVN Fellowship in New Haven, USA, the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum Artist Residency Grant in Japan (2010), the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant (2008), a residency at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (2005), and the UNESCO-Aschberg Bursaries for Artists Fellowship (2005).

Her works are part of several esteemed collections, including the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum in Japan, the Arthur M. Sackler Museum of Art in Beijing, China, the Clarinda Carnegie Art Museum, the Francis J. Greenburger Collection, the Arthur M. Sackler Collection, the Karen and Robert Duncan Collection, and the Marc and Kathy LeBaron Collection.
