Currently based in Bangalore, India, Sunaina Ruth Priti Mudaliar has spent the last decade writing and telling stories in performance at various theatre festivals. She works across forms, including writing, painting, and acting, and often blends them in her creative practice. One such experimental piece, The Beginning, was recently published by the Commonwealth Foundation's online magazine, Adda. Her eclectic family origins meant that conservative traditions both eluded and enticed her, shaping a style that often explores identity beyond cultural frames, where human emotions and relationships remain universal.
