Digital Curve

Bhumi has over six years of experience and has worked around learning design, digital technology, and cultural heritage. She holds an MCA with specialisation in Mobile Computing (2018) and MMS in Heritage Management (2022) from Ahmedabad University. She is interested in examining knowledge, judgment and reflective practice in art, culture and design as instances of knowledge-making.

She was previously associated with the Centre for Learning Futures, where she worked on teaching and learning initiatives, and with the Centre for Inter-Asian Research as a Research Associate at Ahmedabad University. She was also associated with Vizara Technologies, a Digital India Initiative start-up incubated at the NASSCOM Center of Excellence – IoT & AI in 2021 for product development of mixed reality digital heritage mobile applications and virtual reality tours for Indian cultural and archaeological sites. She has also worked in collaboration with the Department of Archaeology and Museums, Government of Rajasthan, India and iHub Drishti, IIT Jodhpur, to create virtual reality museums for five government museums of erstwhile princely states: Chittorgarh, Alwar, Bharatpur, Baran, and Bundi.

She is currently working on a project tentatively titled 'Reconstructing Darshan: The Spatial and Ritual Imagination of Śatruñjaya Patas', exploring the embodied experiences in a pilgrimage undertaken by Jain communities through the visual and spatial representations of pilgrimage places.
