I am a writer, curator, and academic. I am the Dan Mishra Curator of South Asian Art & Culture at the Royal Ontario Museum, and a faculty member associated with the Department of Art History and the Centre for South Asian Studies at the University of Toronto. I am interested in South Asia and its diasporas, visual culture, photography, how meaning is produced, and the ways knowledge functions. I am co-editor of the peer reviewed open access Trans Asia Photography tapreview.org. Instagram @deepalidewa
