Tulika Ahuja makes curatorial projects motivated by the absurdities of our contemporary conditioning. Her practice centres on approachability, explored through research, exhibition-making and framework-development for accessible art encounters and alternative artist ecosystems.

She creates (facilitates, writes, curates, connects networks, speaks, moderates public talks and consults on) encounters for audiences to navigate urgent issues of our time, from ecological, social, urban, digital, to the invisible and mystical. Her process is informed by collaboration, research, experimentation and a non-disciplinary approach that prioritises ideas over traditional academic boundaries. 

Tulika founded Mama Magnet in 2020 after serving curatorial stints at the now defunct Kult gallery and artxtech start-up, The MeshMinds Foundation. She has worked on exhibitions with the National Museum of Singapore, 8Q at Singapore Art Museum, Goethe-institut Singapore, Ketemu Project, Tezos APAC, ArtScience Museum, Sg Writers’ Festival and National Heritage Board. To date, her close work with visual artists has realised more than 50 installation commissions and site-specific activations, from miniatures to monumental.
