Nandini Hasija (b. 1994, India) is based in Basel, Switzerland. She works between New Delhi, Amsterdam and Basel.

She began her education as a textile designer under the Faculty of Design at LASALLE College of the Arts, Singapore (2013) which eventually resulted in her pursuing a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts from the same institute from 2014-17. She specializes in Mark-Making and Sculpture. She recently graduated with a Master’s in Artistic Research from Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht 2017-19.

She is a draughts-person and a textile artist. Her experimental practice of Mark-Making with textile and graphite has aided her to develop her niche using jute rope to weave soft sculptures. Hasija's artistic research and practice are concerned with feminist themes of womanism, essentialism and identity politics. Her current research involves themes of territory, demarcation of space, identity formation and migration.
