We are delighted to announce that Vidya Meera is the 2024 winner of the Sid Motion Gallery Prize at Central Saint Martins.
Vidya Meera is a documentary filmmaker and photographer. Through holistic and ethical practice, Meera encapsulates people, culture, and conservation through an experimental digital lens, telling stories and encouraging community engagement.
For Meera, the beauty of documentaries lies in the constant state of influence, observation, learning, and participation, with a desire for others to experience and grow with the world.
Determined to bring community closer through narrative, she explores the power of the voice and narrative as tools for intimacy and highlights storytelling’s transformative capacity for fostering connections and its power to drive social change.
For Meera's Degree show, she presented a documentary film and photography installation from her time exploring religious sites of worship in North and South India in March 2024. View her film 'Dear Daivam' here.
