A native of India, Manavi has spent the past 2 decades travelling between the sub-continent and different parts of the world.

As a visual storyteller, she has explored the intersection between travel and art through her studies in New York and Paris. She has spent the past decade in Paris, working in different facets of fashion and styling.

Over the past 2 years she has spent increasing time in India (on a motorcycle) exploring the underdiscovered parts of the country and building relationships with communities, learning about their traditions, craft and history.

Her passion for travel and ability to engage with communities allow her to tell intimate stories (through photos and videos) and she dreams of creating a visual archive of stories that may soon be forgotten.
