Mohit Shelare is an artist currently based in Amravati, Maharashtra, India. He facilitates modules on drawing at Hindustan University, Chennai, and National Institute of Design, Haryana. Mohit trained as a painter and developed his interest in performances specifically coming from the presence of the body in the protest practices. He is currently a participant fellow artist at Reginal Art Assembly, Australia, 2021-22, and developing an ongoing work “XenoKnowing”.

Mohit’s practice is interested in sewage lines, biometric machines, and dance. His works expand through the fundamental body gestures such as breathing, drinking, standing and conceptualize them with mechanisms of violence. He brings drawings and text alongside remains of the performances and creates a mental reconstruction of the situations, sites, and events.
