Yashna Kaul was born in 1995 in New Delhi. She completed BFA in Photography and Imaging from Tisch School of the Art, New York University in 2018. Through her practice, Kaul reflects on the nature of memory itself—how it is preserved, how it is altered, and how it is sometimes lost. Her work challenges us to consider the ways in which photography can both reveal and obscure, offering a nuanced meditation on the role of images in the construction of our personal and collective identities.

Her work has been exhibited both in India and internationally. Her most recent exhibitions include ‘Kyotographie’ in Kyoto, Japan, in 2024; the Serendipity Arts Festival in Goa in 2023; the Photo Vogue Festival in Milan, Italy, in 2023; and the India Art Fair in 2023, among others. She was awarded the 2024 Japan Photo Award and received an honourable mention for the 2023 PhMuseum Women Photographers Grant New Generation Prize.

Yashna Kaul currently lives and works in between Mumbai and New Delhi, India.
