Biography
Tanvi Kant (b. Bolton, based in Hastings) is an interdisciplinary artist working across sculpture, participatory installation, jewellery, collage, and assemblage.
Drawing on her British-Gujarati upbringing, her practice considers how lived experience is carried and translated through material processes. Her works synthesise personal and cultural narratives into a poetic visual language, where forms act as signifiers of both intimate and collective histories.
Alongside her studio practice, Tanvi teaches across adult, further, and higher education, and facilitates workshops with public and community groups, encouraging intergenerational exchange through material-led and sensory approaches.
She studied Decorative Arts at Nottingham Trent University, BA 3D Design (Sustainable Practice) at the University of Derby, and completed her MA at the Royal College of Art (2013). Recent awards include an Arts Council England Project Grant (2025) and an a-n Artists Bursary (2023). She has undertaken residencies with Common Clay x Working Class Creatives Database (2025) and Boathouse, Gujarat, India (2023). Her work is held in the public collection at Touchstones Museum and Art Gallery, Lancashire.
