Arjuna Keshvani-Ham (b. 1999) is a British-Canadian-Indian filmmaker and journalist. She received her BA in English and German at the University of Oxford (2021) and MA in Contemporary Art Practice at the Royal College of Art (2023).

Using methods drawn from both documentary and fiction practices, her work uses intimate essayistic aesthetics and/or obsessive painterly detail to address the materiality of trauma, histories of displacement and unresolved legacies of empire. Her work to date has focussed on urban landscapes in India, Portugal and the UK.

Arjuna’s films and installations have been exhibited internationally at festivals and exhibitions, including at the Tate Modern (London), Antimatter Media Art Festival (BC, Canada), VCAS (Vienna), Belvedere 21 (Vienna), SET film festival (London), Deluge Contemporary Art Space (Canada), Artcore Gallery (Derby), the Royal College of Art (London). In 2024 she was selected for an international residency with 1 Shanthi Road Gallery (Bengaluru) and Artcore Gallery (Derby). In 2022 Arjuna collaborated with EUROCLIO and the University of Oxford to produce a series of short documentaries and digital archive on the enduring legacies of the Atlantic slave trade in Portugal, which premiered at Whirled Cinema (London, 2022). Her writing has been featured in international publications such as The Sunday Times, Prospect Magazine, The London Magazine, Flaneur Magazine and others.

Arjuna was awarded the ASC free studio award for emerging artists in London (2024). She is currently an Artistic Research Fellow at the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington DC.
