About me
Ishita Dharap is an artist and art educator. Her cyclical teaching and art-making practice excavates personal and communal discomfort through a rigorous practice of reflection and play. Her work has manifested in drawing, collage, time-based media, performance, sculpture, and installation. She received a Master’s in Art Education from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2020 and is currently a doctoral student in Art Education at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and an Education Coordinator at Krannert Art Museum. With her colleague Kamila Glowacki, she co-created ‘Rest Lab,’ a creative, experimental pop-up installation that invites resting with intention.
