MEGHA NAIR
MEGHA NAIR
Megha Nair (b. 2000 in Kochi, India) is a Boston-based artist who uses painting, textiles, and found objects to explore her relationship with the universe and actively redefine divinity.
Blending corporeality and protective dreamscapes, she uses vibrant color and cultural motifs to build radiant ancestral planes and personal mythological worlds shaped by her experiences of displacement and disconnection. These surreal realms reimagine ideas of sacrality where the past, present, and future live together, reimagining our connections to time. Her work is an act of radical self-reclamation over the psyche.
Creating as a ritualistic practice, she empowers others to partake in the reclamation of self and transformation of narratives.
Her debut solo exhibition, If you can see me, hold me close, is currently on view at the Multicultural Arts Center of Cambridge. Her work has previously been shown at the West Window Gallery in Quincy, MA, the Karen Aqua Gallery in Cambridge, MA, the Peace Center Gallery in Brooklyn, NY, the Jean McDonough Arts Center in Worcester, MA, Elevated Thought in Lawrence, MA, and more. Recently, she partnered with Boston Children’s Museum for their Community Gathering Table. Last fall she was invited as a guest speaker for the Museum of Fine Arts' Diwali program hosted by SubDrift and is a recipient of the Opportunity Fund from the Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture. Her piece "Fluidity" was featured on the cover of Exposed Brick Literary magazine in 2025.
