Adwait is an independent curator and theorist engaging queer-feminist tropes and formats to probe the intersections of ecology, mysticism, subjectivity formation, contemporary technogenesis, and biopolitics.

Recent curations include the fifth edition of the Mardin Biennial (Mardin, 2022) which sought to revise mainstream perceptions on migration forwarding an economy of renouncement instead, and the fifteenth edition of the Queer Arts Festival (Vancouver, 2022) inviting a mutational politics as a counter to neo-colonial technics of exposure and their monitored replication of the status quo. Other significant projects include Mutarerium (Mumbai, 2019) which questioned the terminology of the Anthropocene by examining a trifecta of more-than-human evolutionary timelines, and Caressing History (New Delhi, 2018) exploring the possibility of a para-textual, embodied historiography.
