Biographie
Ravjot Mehek Singh is an award winning Sikh Indian American Film and TV Director and art activist. With many multifaceted successes under her belt at a young age, many Indian and American magazines and news outlets refer to her as one of the youngest female directors in Bollywood and one of the first openly LGBTQ+ Sikh women directors in South Asia. By the time she was 21, she had directed 3 television talk shows for Dish Network through the largest Asian American TV channel Jus Punjabi. She began directing Bollywood music videos and was listed as being the youngest female music video director to be launched by T-Series (India's largest record label) in 2021.
Ravjot's work also takes on curation and installation art which has been featured in major galleries such as the Guggenheim Museum and in various art galleries throughout the world. In 2024, Ravjot served as an Art Ambassador for Kamala Harris's Presidential Campaign, creating animated works for the campaign. Ravjot's curatorial debut "Pardafash" gained critical acclaim as one of the only shows in the world to address the often censored struggles Sikhs went through in 1984 in India. As an LGBTQ+ art activist, Ravjot has been featured in prominent magazines, articles, and shows including Harper's Bazaar and Cosmopolitan magazine.
Her film and art activism work is driven by a passion to create lasting change not only in the entertainment field, but in society. Ravjot frequently lectures and presents on art activism and how film and fine art can be used to create changes in legislation with some of her recent work being displayed and discussed in Washington, DC, Harvard, Tufts, Cornell, UC Berkeley, and beyond. Her documentary feature debut, "I Stand With Jessy", was not only awarded best documentary at the Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival (one of India's largest film festivals) in India in 2017 amongst other film festival wins, but also made waves in local legislation to provide better health-care for low income women. Her second documentary feature, Afghans of Boston, is making waves for local Afghan refugees, creating direct calls to action through film. An advocate for change through art, Ravjot constantly works with large scale organizations such as Adobe, Impact, Boston Globe, PBS, and others to create change and advocate for a better, more just future.
