Amrit Sandhu (b. 1999) is an artist based in Oakland, California. She has exhibited her work in New York City, San Francisco, and Chandigarh, India. Growing up in Northern California, her work traces how generational memory is re-authored across borders and how routine and ritual shape experience within inherited and adopted landscapes. Using materials drawn from daily and ceremonial practice, she examines the social and affective roles these objects occupy in everyday life. She received a BFA from California College of the Arts in 2025.
