Shubigi Rao is a multidisciplinary artist and writer known for her installations, films, text, drawings and research into archives, libraries, histories and the destruction of books. She represented Singapore solo at the Singapore Pavilion, 59th Venice Biennale (2022), in Pulp III: A Short Biography of the Banished Book—the first time a woman artist had a solo presentation for Singapore at Venice, and the first all-female artist-curator team with Ute Meta Bauer.

Her Pulp project, launched in 2014, is a decade-long film, book and visual art exploration of censorship, book destruction, disappearing languages, public libraries and knowledge futures. Shubigi has exhibited in International Biennales and Museums, including Sharjah, Asia Pacific Triennial, Kochi Muziris and Taipei. Her literary work has won the Singapore Literature Prize (Creative Non Fiction) in 2020 and 2024, affirming her position at the intersection of art, research and writing.
