This study explores the ways in which contemporary Indian artists Mithu Sen and Pushpamala N. have expanded the concept of self-portraiture beyond mere physical likeness to include themes of intimacy, gender politics, and identity. Their work challenges societal assumptions of gender, sexuality, and power while upending fixed notions of selfhood through the use of performance, photography, and mixed-media interventions. Using case studies of a few chosen works, this paper makes the point that their self-representational techniques serve as platforms for play, resistance, and critical interaction with the politics of identity in Indian contemporary art.
