Indu Antony (b. 1982) is an artist based out of Bangalore and Kerala, India. Born and raised in a conventional Indian family, she overcame various social obligations to pursue her forms of expressions.

Antony, hence, has been working with individuals from the fringes of the society. She is known to explore tonalities of inward discussions, which later burst into communal spaces. Her work primarily revolves around the notion of spaces and their intangible character in relation to the gendered body, as a site of representation, by understanding feministic stands, which give way to performances and installations.

Antony has participated in several group exhibitions including the Serendipity Arts Festival (2018), Kochi-Muziris Biennale (Collateral) (2018-19), FotoFest Biennial, Houston (2018), Queer Asia Photo Exhibition, London (2017), and Photo Kathmandu, Nepal (2015).

Antony won the Toto Funds Award for Photography (2011) and is the recipient of the FICA Public Art Grant (2018) for her project entitled Cecilia’ed.
