Anjali Benjamin-Webb is a Black American and Eelam Tamil artist whose practice includes sculptural installation, text, and print. Their work exhumes the remnants of state enacted violence to unveil our relationships with the very structures intent on destroying us. Balanced upon the precarious position we hold between life and death, their newest body of work draws upon their training as a death doula and reiki practitioner to honor the displaced, disappeared, and desecrated.
Anjali is the founder of Palmyra Projects, a collaborative business practice dedicated to realizing the visionary ideas of creators, and revolutionaries around the world. They previously worked with contemporary artists Wangechi Mutu and Naama Tsabar; the art collection at the Constitutional Court of South Africa; the Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation, and the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Anjali received their bachelor’s degree in Political Science and Studio Art from Wellesley College and is a master’s degree candidate at the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths, University of London.
