Nayanika Singh

New Delhi, India

Nayanika’s work weaves together cultural storytelling, spatial design, and evolving digital ecologies. With nearly a decade of experience across cultural, fashion, and contemporary arts institutions, she has learnt to transform complex narratives into immersive and emotionally intelligent experiences — both in physical museums and digital realms.

Currently based in India, Nayanika leads the Museum Projects & Research division at E Factor Experiences, where she has led public projects of both physical and digital nature such as the India Pavilion (2024-25) at World Expo 2025, ISKCON's Museum on Srila Prabhupada (2024-25), and Dharohar: Milestones in the Indian Securities Market (2022-25). Her curatorial thinking often sits at the intersection of memory, native practices, and the material — asking how stories, objects, and spaces shift in meaning across geographies, technologies, and time.

She has also curated contemporary art exhibitions in London including Seek.and.Hide (2023), Radical Play (2023), and Working Space: One-third of a Slice (2024), and has spoken at international forums such as ICOMON 2023, Kuala Lumpur about the use of AI in museum storytelling.

Nayanika holds an MA in Culture, Criticism, and Curation from Central Saint Martins, UAL, London, a Graduate Diploma in Humanities in art and design from the Royal College of Art, London, and a B.Des. in Fashion Design from NIFT Kolkata.

With a strong grounding in design research, exhibition planning, interactive media, and stakeholder engagement, Nayanika’s strength lies in building teams that care — about the politics of representation, about accessibility, and about what it means to design cultural infrastructure today. Her practice is deeply informed by empathy, inquiry, and an enduring belief in the power of public space.
