Pioneering Indian artist Sonia Khurana was born in 1968 and currently lives and works in Delhi. She is known for persistent exploration of the “body in resistance”, using the human form (often her own).

If I Can’t Dance – Post Facto (III to VI) is a series of watercolours derived from still images of the artist's video work Bird (1999). In the video "the body repeatedly attempts lift, extending its limbs in preparation for flight but never leaving the ground. Across its duration, the body falters and resumes, persisting within its own constraints.".

Khurana originally studied at the Delhi College of Art. After completing her MA at the Royal College of Art in London in 1999, she did a two-year Residency Programme for practice-based research at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam.

Internationally recognised for her pioneering work in feminism and early digital media, Khurana's work has been shown in various biennales, including the Aichi Triennale 2010, the Gwangju Biennale2008, Pusan Biennale 2004, and Liverpool Biennial 2010. As well as museum shows at Brooklyn Musuem, Fukouka Museum of Asian Art, Japan, New York, National Gallery of Modern Art, Bombay, Asia Society New York, Museum of Contemporary Art, Brisbane, PlayHouse Durban, Whitechapel Gallery, London, Henie Onstad Kunssenter, Oslo, KusthalleWien, Vienna, House of World Cultures, Berlin, IVAM, Valencia, and Centre Pompidou, Paris.
