Sabya Sachi Ghosh is a professional artist whose work reflects a deep engagement with memory, and the diverse narratives that shape India’s cultural fabric. An avid solo biker with an adventurous spirit, he has travelled across almost every corner of the country in search of abandoned monuments, silent ruins, and overlooked histories. These journeys have not only shaped his worldview but have also fuelled his parallel identity as an independent researcher of history. He is the author of A Biker’s Pilgrimage: Forgotten Edifices, Unfortunate Histories, Graphite Imagery in Black and White: A Book of Sketches, Pilgrims of Pure Insanity: a novel and a contributing author of Muslims and Media Images: News vs Views.
