Sabari is interested in storytelling and immersive spaces. She graduated from the National Institute of Design, India with a specialisation in Exhibition Design in 2005. After which her professional experience as a designer has given her the opportunity to work towards creating innovative, customised and context specific design solutions for projects like museums, exhibitions, heritage-management and public spaces. She has been the lead designer for 'Darshan' the Sadhu Vaswani Museum in Pune, and the Khalsa Heritage Center, Anandpur Sahib in Punjab. She has worked closely with eminent art historians, architects, filmmakers, lighting designers and master craftsmen from all over India.

Over the last seven years of her design practice, her role has blurred between a designer, an artist, a curator, and a project manager. Her current MA in Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship (Design pathway) is an attempt to find fresh ways of expressing her combined creative energy. While doing her MA, she interned at the V&A Theatre and Performance Collections, looking at the role of temporary exhibitions in the creative and culture economy of UK. She is returning to the V&A South Asia Collections on a two-month voluntary curatorial work post her MA.

She is also conducting creative workshops for her next exhibition titled ‘Re-imagined dreams’, stories of aspirations, hope for lost dreams and re-creation of identity of ten young women survivors of forced marriage aged between 16 to 25 years, originally from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The project is in collaboration with Asha Project, a charity based in London, working for survivors of domestic violence and forced marriage amongst South Asian women. While in London, Sabari has also reconnected with her dancer-self after a gap of ten years and is now a part of the Bharatnatyam troupe called 'Beeja' led by Anusha Subramanium.

Being an arts activist, Abhishek perceives the arts not merely a means of entertainment but as a cultural movement which can inspire, motivate and encourage the healthy, earnest and serious elements of our lives.  

In 2006, Abhishek was selected for prestigious Ford Foundation Fellowship award to study an MA in Arts Administration & Cultural Policy at Goldsmiths, University of London. Having a degree in Theatre & Film-making, it was worthwhile studying the administrative & managerial aspects of arts. The Gold-en days were full of learning and he gained a new perception of arts practices.

Back home, Abhishek was awarded with the Inlaks Theatre Award to do a performance based research into Folk theatre forms, ‘Kirtania’ and ‘Vidapat’. In 2009, he joined ‘JIYO’ as State Arts/Crafts Coordinator (the state of Bihar) - a project administered by the World Bank and implemented by the Asian Heritage Foundation; which aims to bring the benefits of an open, globalized economy by bringing the best of technology, world-class design, and business strategies to poor people whose livelihoods depend upon their ‘creative’ industries.

Gradually, his work has achieved the mission of 'Creating Sustainable Livelihood through Cultural Industries' for the crafts persons, weavers and performing artists to further set up and strengthen their own self-managed grass-root level institutions. Abhishek also works as a researcher and contributes his writings surrounding various arts & cultural issues.
