Sourav Dutta (b. 1999) is an Indian art historian and emerging interdisciplinary artist whose academic grounding and curatorial insights bridge the realms of history, visual culture, and contemporary practice. He holds both BFA and MFA degrees in the History of Art from Rabindra Bharati University, where he graduated with First Class honors.

Sourav’s artistic journey is marked by a deep engagement with traditional forms and contemporary discourses. His participation in exhibitions spans regional, national, and international platforms—including the Jagat Ankan Shiksha Kendra Annual Exhibition (2016), RBU Students’ Annual Exhibitions (2022–2023), and international showcases like Same But Different: Equinox to Equinox and SPACE/BODY/CHOICE at WHOYAIT Art Space. 

His commitment to cultural scholarship is evident in his lectures and publications, where he explores themes such as the intersection of technology and art, institutional dynamics in creative practice, and the craft traditions of Eastern India. His article on the making of Shital Pati and his review of the CIMA Gallery’s Untitled exhibition highlight his contributions to critical writing in the arts.
