About

Kavi Pujara (b. 1972) is a British Asian photographer based in Leicester, England. His long-term documentary projects explore community, migration, and the idea of home, often drawing on his own lived experience. Through a blend of observation and lyrical storytelling, his work reflects on belonging, identity, and the complex ways memory and place shape one another.

Pujara’s photographs are attentive to the quiet, everyday moments in which larger social histories reside. His practice increasingly engages with sound and other narrative forms, expanding the ways in which stories of culture, displacement, and resilience can be told..
