Deepti Mulgund obtained her doctoral degree in April 2019 from the School of Arts and Aesthetics, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. Her thesis, The Social Life of Art: Tracing the Development of Art Publics in Colonial Bombay 1850-1930s focused on practices, processes, sites and platforms that created a culture of art-viewing in the colonial port city of Bombay and led to the development of art publics. She is currently working towards expanding her doctoral thesis into a monograph. In 2015, she was a DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) Fellow, affiliated to the Institut für Kunst und Bildgeschichte (IKB) at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. She has worked in a curatorial capacity at the Devi Art Foundation, a not-for-profit foundation that was engaged with contemporary art and has researched institutional history at the Bhau Daji Lad Mumbai City Museum (formerly the Victoria and Albert Museum of Bombay).
