Ujwal Mantha is an interdisciplinary artist currently based in Toronto. His work prioritizes concepts over mediums and revolves around stories. He's also the one writing this bio and feels a bit pretentious for using the third person. So I won't. As I was saying, I like stories and I'm especially interested in how they can be used as ways to discuss identity, culture and imagination. I'm currently working on a large project, of which the Patchwork House is a small part: The Fragile Empires Project. What if people weren't individuals but entire communities unto themselves? You can find more of my work on my website www.ujwalmantha.com. I'd also encourage you to write to me should you have any stories of your own to share. I'm always ready to hear a good story. Thank you for your time
