Motherland X Bharat Sikka

Bharat Sikka is a visual artist, director, and photographer. A longtime friend and creative catalyst of Motherland, he shares our ambition to capture India in its truest form.

In 2024, Bharat photographed actress Kani Kusruti as two of her films—All We Imagine as Light and Girls Will Be Girls—released to global acclaim. Styled by Ameet Sikka, Kani was the cover star of the CINEMA edition of Motherland magazine, a tribute to Indian independent film.
