Roshan Ganu

Roshan Ganu is a multimedia artist originally from Goa, presently based in Minneapolis. Her practice uses iterations of light, darkness, moving image, space and time to explore the poignant states of our human condition. She is interested in the interflow of meaning between the linguistic, visual, experiential and transdisciplinary.  Her work brings a narrative, a moment or an emotion to life wherein she employs the tools of linguistics, space, time, moving image and narrative to meet her audience in a space of vulnerability. ‘Isolation’ is the predominant framework through which she perceives the human condition, the overriding subtext in her work. 

Ganu is presently the Jerome Foundation Fellow 2022-23. Her multimedia work has been featured at the MDW Art Fair in Chicago, Franconia Sculpture Park, and Twin Cities Fashion Week, among others. She has been the recipient of grants and projects from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, Minnesota Opera, Minneapolis Institute of Art, and Springboard for the Arts. Ganu has taught in classrooms in Goa, India and Versailles, France and is currently a Foundation Studies Professor at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.
