Seema M Kachroo

Seema Kachroo is a visual artist based in Edmonton, Alberta, whose practice explores displacement, diaspora, cultural memory, and belonging through painting, printmaking, and research-based methodologies. Born and educated in India, she holds BA, BFA, and MFA degrees in Painting from the University of Delhi and has recently completed an MFA in Visual Arts at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador in 2025. Drawing on lived experience and the intergenerational histories of the Kashmiri Pandit diaspora, her work examines migration, cultural rupture, memory, and resilience. Her research also includes the study of Kashmiri language and the Sharada script, informing her efforts to preserve and reactivate cultural knowledge through contemporary art.
