Azra Bhagat is a curator and writer based in Mumbai, India. With a multidisciplinary practice that spans writing, art direction, filmmaking, and critical theory, her work occupies the intersections of visual culture and narrative form. Since earning a BA (Hons) from the London College of Communication in 2013, she has pursued a hybrid creative career-ranging from advertising storyboards and copywriting to sculpture, installation, and published essays.
Her graduate project Inside Out was featured in Watch Me Pivot (pp. 15–17), and she co-curated the exhibition Modern Thoughts during her undergraduate years. In 2016, her advertising concept for the NGO CRY received a Kyoorius Design Award. She studied Art History at the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum in 2017, later contributing research toward one of the museum’s publications.
Azra’s critical writing has appeared in Art India magazine, and she continues to publish essays on her independent platform The Odd One Site , alongside poetry and fiction on Juggernaut. In 2018–19, she was a fellow at the Young India Fellowship at Ashoka University, where her interests in cultural theory and public discourse deepened further. Most recently, she completed a Master’s in Filmmaking with a focus on Screenwriting at Whistling Woods International.
