Reena Saini Kallat (b. 1973, Delhi, India) works across drawing, photography, sculpture, and video to examine borders, memory, migration, and the constructed nature of national narratives. Shaped by the legacy of Partition experienced by her paternal family, her practice engages histories of displacement, environmental exploitation, and archives of the disappeared. Through motifs such as electric cables twisted into barbed wire and the use of rubber stamps, she reflects on control, surveillance, and the fragile promise of connectivity, re-inscribing erased names and marginalised histories into collective consciousness. Her engagement with legal and bureaucratic language reveals both the ideals and exclusions embedded within systems of power.

Kallat has exhibited widely at major institutions including Tate Modern, London; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Migros Museum, Zurich; Mori Art Museum, Tokyo; Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo; and Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, among others. Her museum solo exhibitions include Bhau Daji Lad Museum, Mumbai (2025); Kunstmuseum Thun (2023); Compton Verney and Firstsite, UK (2022); and Musée Guimet, Paris (2020). She has participated in major biennials including Sharjah (2023), Havana (2024, 2019), and Bangkok (2020).

In 2024, Nature Morte presented her solo exhibition Requiem (The Last Call) at its Dhan Mill gallery, New Delhi. A major sculpture from the exhibition was subsequently presented by the gallery at Frieze Sculpture, London (2025), curated by Fatoş Üstek.

Kallat currently lives and works in Mumbai, India.
