Reevah Agarwaal is a multi-disciplinary artist from New Delhi, India, currently based in Chicago, IL. She received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) in 2021 and is currently pursuing her Master's degree in Fine Art from the same institution. Through the media of textiles and printmedia, her work explores memory, cycles of trauma, and the complex dichotomies that exist in a domestic landscape. Using repurposed found textiles and objects that have a personal history, she creates quilts and collages that reference her childhood, relationships, and the domestic spaces she has lived in. By employing material history, intuition, and memory, she aims to reconstruct and reclaim narratives through her artwork. Her work has appeared in various group shows in Chicago, including at FLXST Contemporary, SAIC Galleries, Free Range, The Martin, and Spudnik Press Cooperative. She also has permanent public artwork on view in South Chicago. She currently works as a Graduate Peer Advisor for Career and Professional Experiences at SAIC, and as a Teaching Assistant for undergraduate classes.
