Kavita Bali is a visual poet, contemporary fine artist and filmmaker whose first book of poetry, ‘Dancing, Creative Souls’ was just released. Kavita recently shared her paintings in her Solo Art Exhibition ‘Emotional Expressionism’ in May at Village Studios & Gallery in Greenville, SC where she is a resident artist.

Her short films have been screened in the United States including at the San Francisco World Affairs Council, Venue 9, SOMARTS Gallery, Kearny Street Workshop’s APAture, UC Berkeley, Seattle’s Northwest Asian American Film Festival, Theater Off Jackson at the Oseao Studios in Seattle, Washington, The Everest Theater in Dallas, Texas, The University of Nebraska at Lincoln and most recently at Furman University’s Burgiss Theater in South Carolina.

She moved to the US from Allahabad, India at age six and has worked in visual arts, design, film, experimental performance and poetry. She stumbled onto the interactive design scene in 1994 while in the MFA Film Program at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and then jumped ship to help navigate the world for innocent mortals. She earned her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and is thrilled to be part of Electrogals 2011.
