Keroshin is a transdisciplinary artist based in Sydney. His practice explores the performative dimensions of culture, examining how identity is expressed, negotiated and concealed within South Asian diasporic communities. During a residency in Portugal, Keroshin developed a CMYK printing method for ceramics, extending his material practice. At Barrette House, Randwick, he localised his indigo dyeing processes using indigenous indigo sourced in consultation with First Nations botanical experts in La Perouse. Recently Keroshin collaborated with Aunty Bronwyn Penrith on Conflict Timeline for Sydney Festival, an 11-metre drawing mapping intertwined First Nations and Indian diasporic histories. Keroshin serves on Randwick Council鈥檚 Arts and Culture Advisory Board and exhibits locally and interstate and has been awarded residencies at Parramatta Artist Studios, Woollahra Gallery, and Randwick Council. Blacktown City Council acquired Keroshin鈥檚 work Cu-vun-dar in 2025, an installation tracing the layered origins of his surname, developed through dialogue with family and wider community.
