Junuka’s primary interest is in the practice of observation. The practice inspires her to engage in the process of image making through drawing, films and singing. She explores image making and image construction as sensemaking processes in her practice as an artist and an educator. Her professional journey as a film maker and community worker across forests, islands, cities and villages has led her to question implicit notions of self and hierarchy embedded in creative-perceptive processes. She is engaged in exploring methods and forms of recording, documenting, interpreting and understanding the environment in an artistic, collaborative and just manner. Junuka teaches at Srishti Manipal Institute of Art, Design and technology, Bangalore and works on projects that engage with communities, places and stories.
