Hima Batavia (any) is an interdisciplinary South Asian artist based as a settler in T'karonto, working across performance, installation, social practice, and media arts through duration, ritual, and participation.

Her work treats the body as a site for inquiry into speculative mythological narratives unearthed through ancestral memory, somatic activation and land relations. In dialogue with feminist temporalities, decolonial theory, more-than-human and cross-cultural performance practices, her work resists capitalist logics of atomization and isolation that produce "split subjects of empire." Through embodied transmission, she proposes relational modes of survival, repair, and world-making that reconfigure colonized psycho-affective and ecological landscapes toward a politics of interconnectedness.

Hima's work has been presented and featured at Venice Performance Art Week Summer Class (2025), Summerworks Festival (2024; 2022), LEGS Festival (2023), Communa Residency (2022), Geary Art Crawl (2021), Myseum Intersections Festival (2021), Kajal Magazine (2020), and Annex Hotel (2018).
