Pat Badani is a media artist, writer, and researcher whose works promote ecological balance and sustainable human-world relations.

She has received over 20 awards and commissions including a one-year media arts research-creation grant from the Canada Council for the Arts; support from the Robert Heinecken Trust Fund; a DCASE award; and a MacDowell National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship.  In 2011 her work was selected and registered on Creative Capital’s artists to watch list “On Our Radar.” Badani has been nominated for two merit awards in the USA; in 2010 she was nominated for an Art Matters Fellowship and in 2018 she was nominated for an AWAW award recognizing women of vision.
