Tanvi Mishra works with images as a photo editor, curator, writer and educator. Her areas of interest include rights and representation in image-making, refusal as visual strategy and the notion of truth/fiction in photography. 

Her recent curatorial projects include the group show "Moving Definitions: an invitation to re-view" at Recontres d’Arles (2023), France and solo presentations of Divya Cowasji at Serendipity Arts Festival, India (2025) and Isadora Romero at Musee Neimenster, Luxembourg (2025) and Photo Kathmandu, Nepal (2025). She was the Creative Director of The Caravan and on the editorial team of PIX, a Southasian publication and display practice. Mishra was an invited curator at Photo Kathmandu (2016) and the Breda Photo biennial (2022), and part of the curatorial team of Delhi Photo Festival (2013, 2015). Her writing has been published widely including contributions in FOAM Magazine, NO NIIN Magazine, 1000 Words, Aperture and the Routledge Companion to Global Photographies. She has taught with photo.circle, Pathshala South Asian Media Institute, the International Center of Photography and VII Academy, and conducted independent workshops on publishing as practice. 

Her work across curating, writing and editing is premised at the intersection of politics, culture and social justice. Her working method foregrounds building kinship and solidarity, as tools to collectively imagine alternate, reparative futures.
