Career

Academia

Ghosh in 2022.

As a founding member of Archivo Auxiliar, a collective studying electronic music in Mexico City, she captured the development of the city’s underground nightlife community during the COVID-19 pandemic through the counter-archiving project “Cyberstreams.” She has an ongoing art project called “Rave Flags” (2023-Present), in which she creates graphic textiles that create visual anchors during events that often take place in different and abandoned locations.“Rave Flags” is in collaboration with other artists, who upon invitation contribute to a growing library of textiles.

Based in Mexico City, she founded her own practice in 2022. She focuses on creating collective experiences that strengthen community ties, often working in collaboration with other design disciplines. She has current projects in Mexico and New York City. Her projects and research often engage experimental documentation and archival methods.

She has taught at Columbia GSAAP, UC Berkeley CED, Syracuse University and University of Milwaukee SARUP.
