As an artist, a curator, a mentor, and a seeker, Nirmal Raja has made an indelible imprint on Milwaukee, where she has lived and worked for the last 24 years. Her humility, generosity, and the intellectual depth of her practice have enriched and inspired her many friends and collaborators across the arts community. Raja was born in India and lived in South Korea and Hong Kong before immigrating to Wisconsin, and her work consistently connects the intimate and personal with a consciously global concern.
