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 in 2021 and is currently pursuing her Master's degree in Fine Art from the same institution. Her work explores memory, cycles of trauma, and complex family dynamics using repurposed textiles and objects that have a personal history. She creates quilts and collages that reference her childhood, family, and the domestic spaces she has lived in. By employing material history and referencing family photographs, she aims to trace the past and reconstruct memories through her artwork. Her work has appeared in various group shows in Chicago including at SAIC Galleries, Free Range, Locus Gallery Show at The Martin, and Member Exhibitions at Spudnik Press Cooperative. She also has permanent public artwork on view in South Chicago and currently works as a Graduate Peer Advisor for Career and Professional Experiences at SAIC, and as a Teaching Assistant for undergraduate classes.
