Sita is an artist, writer, and teacher who likes to think of her work as the lovechild of Edward Said and Willy Wonka; she’s obsessed with the ways in which we experience food, politics, and art. Born and raised in the suburbs of Los Angeles to Indian and Japanese Colombian parents, she moved to the Bay Area after receiving her B.A., Cum Laude, in Studio Art from Scripps College. She has completed an M.F.A. from California College of the Arts and is an M.A. candidate in Visual and Critical Studies. Sita has collaborated with organizations such as SomArts, 18 Reasons, 826 Valencia, The Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, Whitman College, Cal-State Fullerton and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Sita has been the art features editor for Hyphen magazine and a board member and programming committee chair for Kearny Street Workshop. She currently teaches photography and portfolio development at RayKo Photo Center. See more of her work at sitabhaumik.com and read about her research in http://www.artpractical.com/review/the_other_senses/.
