Art critic Charlotte Jansen wrote in [[Tate]]'s publication, ''Fifty Pioneers Defining Photography for the Twenty-First Century'', that Basu's work is "beautiful but also apocalyptic, her photographs and films pulsate with psychotropic light".<ref>{{cite web| title=Photography Now by Charlotte Jansen | website=Waterstones | date=22 April 2021 | url=https://www.waterstones.com/book/photography-now/charlotte-jansen/9781781576205 | access-date=22 May 2024}}</ref>

==Early life==
Basu was born and raised in Kolkata, India. She has said "I grew up in a home with all kinds of taboos, and it was an extremely violent, patriarchal and misogynistic environment. I saw how these things were related and became interested in exploring the complex web of patriarchy."<ref name="artreview">{{cite web|access-date=2021-07-24|title=Blood Speaks: 'Period Activist' and Photographer Poulomi Basu Campaigns Against Violence|url=https://artreview.com/blood-speaks-period-activist-poulomi-basu-campaign-against-violence-photography/|website=[[ArtReview]]}}</ref> She majored in sociology then did a master's degree in photojournalism and documentary photography at the [[London College of Communication]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Kashmiriyat|url=https://www.magnumfoundation.org/paloumibasu|access-date=2021-08-09|website=Magnum Foundation}}</ref>

==Work==
Basu's work often addresses the normalisation of [[Violence against women|violence against marginalised women]].<ref name="huckmag"/> the [[BBC]] described Basu as a "visual activist known for her fearless examination of systemic injustices. Her lens focuses on stories that often go ignored or underreported, particularly those of women in isolated communities and conflict zones."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3cswp2j|title=BBC World Service – The Conversation, War Through A Woman's Lens|publisher=BBC}}</ref>

Basu was at the center of a major controversy with her story on menstruation in Nepal with an Editor's footnote about manipulation of subject for creating more engaging visuals<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://archive.nytimes.com/lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2017/01/05/in-nepal-monthly-exile-for-women/|title=New York Times, The - Nepal, A Monthly Exile For Women|publisher=NYT}}</ref>

Her ''To Conquer Her Land'' series depicts the first female soldiers in the [[Indian Army]], on the [[India–Pakistan border]].<ref>{{cite news|first1=Indira|last1=Basu|access-date=2021-07-19|title=Art for the everyday feminist|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/mumbai/entertainment/art-for-the-everyday-feminist/article8478095.ece|newspaper=The Hindu|date=15 April 2016|issn=0971-751X}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|access-date=2021-07-19|title=Poulomi Basu: To Conquer Her Land at Half King Gallery|url=https://museemagazine.com/culture/culture/art-out/poulomi-basu-to-conquer-her-land-at-half-king-gallery|website=Musée Magazine|date=June 2015 }}</ref> In Basu's words, "''To Conquer Her Land'' is about new forms of stress – related to combatant life – that has never existed for Indian women before in history." Her work deals with sensitive issues of self image and focuses on women who are striving to redefine their identity. Basu's work pivots around the "intricate issues of conflict, psychological warfare, class, youth, gender, love, peace, the concept of home, an undefined idea of patriotism, and the strength of the mind."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Poulomi Basu |url=http://www.poulomibasu.com/tchl |access-date=2022-03-29 |website=PB}}</ref> ''To Conquer Her Land'' is a fitting title as this work is dedicated to the women who are trying to claim their place not only in the military but also in the eyes of society where gender norms are still harsh towards women.
''Blood Speaks: A Ritual of Exile'' deals with the Nepalese practice of [[Chhaupadi]], which {{Blockquote|dictates that women who are menstruating, and those who experience bleeding after childbirth, must live in makeshift huts because they are considered impure and therefore untouchable. Exiled by their communities and families, the women are refused access to water and toilets and must eat food scraps, fed to them as though they were animals.}} Basu made the work in [[Surkhet District]], in a remote region of Nepal, in 2013, 2014 and 2016. When exhibited, the work includes two screen projections, photographs shown in LED-powered light boxes, a surround-soundscape and an immersive virtual reality installation—"The room deliberately evokes the oppressive environment inhabited by the women".<ref name="bjp-2017">{{cite web|access-date=2021-07-20|title=On show at Format: Poulomi Basu's A Ritual of Exile|url=https://www.1854.photography/2017/03/basuritual/|website=[[British Journal of Photography]]}}</ref><ref name="artreview"/> [[Tate Modern]] curator, Emma Lewis, speaks of Basu's work saying that<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/emma-lewis-2/photography-%e2%80%93-a-feminist-history/9781781578452/|title=Photography – A Feminist History|date=6 April 2021|isbn=9781781578452 |via=hachette.co.uk |last1=Lewis |first1=Emma |publisher=Octopus }}</ref> {{Blockquote|''Blood Speaks'' highlighted the grave consequences of normalized violence and how such taboos negatively impact sustainability goals relating to child marriage, attitudes to reproductive health, maternal mortality and school education. The project resulted in Basu collaborating with several charities, including WaterAid for their 'To Be A Girl' campaign. In 2018, the Nepalese government passed a new law enforcing existing legislation around chhaupadi with a jail sentence and fine.}}

''Centralia'' focuses on the female guerrillas of the [[Naxalite–Maoist insurgency]].<ref name="bjp-2019-butetroch">{{cite web|date=9 July 2019|access-date=2021-07-25|title=Centralia by Poulomi Basu|url=https://www.1854.photography/2019/07/centralia-by-poulomi-basu/|website=[[British Journal of Photography]]}}</ref> [[Sean O'Hagan (journalist)|Sean O'Hagan]] wrote in ''[[The Guardian]]'' that the book "casts light on an overlooked conflict between the Indian state and the Maoist People's Liberation Guerrilla Army, which is made up of volunteers from a beleaguered indigenous community. Basu moves effortlessly between traditional documentary and a heightened, almost hallucinatory approach that reflects both the brutality of the conflict and the state propaganda that feeds on half-truths and manipulated "facts"."<ref name="theguardian-2020-ohagan"/> Basu takes cues from "the literary work of William Faulkner, J G Ballard and Arundhati Roy, as well as the dream narratives of David Lynch" ... "in composing Centralia, which is set largely in the state of Chhattisgarh, as well as the states of Odisha, West Bengal and Jharkhand".<ref name="bjp-2019-butetroch"/> Her reason for taking inspiration from these notable figures, in her words, is because "they deal with the darkness that lies ahead." She reflects, "in a way, this project is a prism to explore contemporary India through my own connection to a historical and present series of events.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Centralia by Poulomi Basu – 1854 Photography |url=https://www.1854.photography/2019/07/centralia-by-poulomi-basu/ |access-date=2022-03-29 |website=1854.photography}}</ref>

''Fireflies'' is a multi-layered body of work including photography, moving image, and performance. ''Fireflies'' covers many complex narratives around eco-feminism and gender justice, with grounded ideas of magical realism and science fiction. Alona Pardo, curator of ''[[Barbican Centre|The Barbican]]'', introduces Basu's work: "''Fireflies'', consists of a series of deeply emotive and powerful images of Poulomi invariably performing for the camera".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://autograph.org.uk/blog/listen-speculative-futures-poulomi-basu-and-alona-pardo-in-conversation/|title=Listen: Speculative Futures – Poulomi Basu and Alona Pardo in Conversation|website=autograph.org.uk}}</ref> The project consists of images that Basu intertwined with her mother, underscoring a matrilineal heritage and genealogy that speaks to the violence which is all too often bestowed on women's bodies, highlighting female oppression and the hetero-patriarchal cultural values that are also a shared trauma, and notions of care. Kenneth Dickerman wrote in ''[[The Washington Post]]'' that "Basu's work seeks to turn that paradigm on its head to begin to create a more equitable, favorable and stable world for all".<ref name="washingtonpost">{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/photography/2022/05/23/these-photos-are-magical-exploration-truama-patriarchal-violence/ |title=These surreal photos are an exploration of trauma and patriarchal violence |date=2022-05-23 |author1=Kenneth Dickerman |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |place=Washington, D.C. |issn=0190-8286 |oclc=1330888409}}</ref> Shyama Laxman wrote in ''Aesthetica Magazine'' that<ref>{{Cite web|first1=Shyama|last1=Laxman|url=https://aestheticamagazine.com/personal-and-political-pb-autograph/|title=Personal and Political|website=Aesthetica Magazine}}</ref> {{Blockquote|despite the hard-hitting subject matter, ''Fireflies'' is not unsettling, rather, mesmerising. Whilst bruises and blood are subtly weaved into the show, these pockets of brutality are offset by a pervading sense of hope that women will break the cycle of abuse and forge a better world for themselves.}}
