Drawing Room: Manjot Kaur’s paintings birth rebellion and entwined truths

Manjot Kaur's paintings feature human-plant hybrids, miniature-art details, and references to goddesses.

Her 'Goddesses Birthing Ecosystems' series questions motherhood and women's restricted domestic roles.

The 2021 watercolor 'When a Tree Grew Out of Her Womb' depicts Egyptian goddess Taweret giving birth to a tree.

Kaur's hybrid creatures fuse seamlessly across species, encouraging viewers to question human-nonhuman entanglements.

Kaur, born in Ludhiana and working between Vancouver and India, also creates animation and immersive interactive installations.
