Her research interests include the cultural politics of Indigenous identity and the intersection of art with activism. Recent projects examine Hindu nationalism's impact on Adivasi communities and the socio-cultural effects of the pandemic. She has produced award-winning films like Broken Gods (2019, Best Documentary) and Budhan Stories (2021), which investigate Indigenous cultural erosion and resistance.

Her 2022 book Adivasi Art and Activism: curation in a nationalist age explores curation practices in politically charged contexts. Collaborations with Indigenous researchers, such as the Indigenous Film Ecologies in India project, underscore her commitment to participatory research.
