Niharika Russell

Niharika received her BFA from Concordia University in 2019, with a Major in Painting & Drawing and a Minor in Classical Civilizations, and her MA in Art History from the University of Toronto in 2020. She specializes in ancient art, with a particular focus on ancient Greek art and archaeology. Her primary research interests are examining sensory qualities of both the subject matter and media of ancient Greek art, and developing methods of reading the sensorium of the ancient Greek world using critical frameworks in sensory studies drawn from overlapping art historical topics in anthropology, sociology, historiography, and cultural history.
