Commissioned for For Real For Real, an international exhibition by Claudia Rankine’s Racial Imaginary Institute in collaboration with the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Programme, this handmade artist’s book explores motherhood, inheritance and the relationship between writing and identity.

Singapore Writers Festival
“She paired a fierce insistence on challenging – or, more accurately, disregarding – literary hierarchies to inject a titillating unpredictability into the 26-year-old festival.”
— The Straits Times, Life Power List 2023
Festival Director, 2019–2023
Appointed the youngest Festival Director in the history of the Singapore Writers Festival, Pooja Nansi led the festival from 2019 to 2023, bringing a bold, irreverent sensibility to one of Asia’s longest-running literary events. Her programming drew a new generation of audiences to the festival, making literature feel urgent, contemporary and exciting. In her first year, The Business Times declared that “the festival feels like it’s been rehauled.” By the end of her tenure, The Straits Times wrote that her stint “has transformed expectations of what the annual literary event can be.”
