Paribartana Mohanty is an Indian multimedia creator born in 1982 in Odisha, who splits his time between his home state and Delhi. His academic foundation includes a printmaking degree from Bhubaneswar's Dhauli College of Art and Craft alongside a master's in art history from the National Museum Institute in New Delhi. Rather than restricting himself to standard canvas work, he utilizes an array of modern mediums, including digital video, performance lectures, painting, and electronic art.

Much of his research centers on the shifting landscapes along the Bay of Bengal. He investigates how recurring ecological crises like cyclones and coastal erosion reshape rural topographies and disrupt vulnerable local communities. Intriguingly, his projects question how digital networks, algorithms, and data monitoring shape how the public understands these disasters, while tracking the real-world transformations brought by changing regional policies.
