My Body Was A River Once is the debut institutional exhibition by India-born, San Francisco–based artist Anoushka Mirchandani. Featuring an entirely new body of work, the exhibition engages the senses—sight, sound, and smell—to explore memory, matrilineage, and the ways migration and place shape identity and agency. Drawing inspiration from the Apsaras, celestial beings in South Asian mythology, Mirchandani reimagines these mythic figures as vessels of intergenerational movement. Expanding her practice beyond painting, she incorporates diaphanous silks, sculpted wooden thorns, and subtle aromas to create a multisensory environment that reflects on belonging, inheritance, and transformation through the lens of mythmaking and migration.
