Kavitha is a trans woman of Sri Lankan Tamil descent from Canberra who grew up in Western Sydney. She works as a community lawyer during the day, but is also an occasional performer by night, enjoying various forms of creative expression, including singing, dancing, and miming.

On their relationship to the Sydney Murugan Temple and Western Sydney: I grew up in Pendle Hill, Toongabbie, Wentworthville and Westmead. These suburbs are home to a large proportion of the Sri Lankan Tamil community in Sydney. Growing up, I struggled to realise and express my queerness and womanhood in such a culturally conservative and close-minded community. However, it was my upbringing in Western Sydney which instilled me with such a rich understanding of my language, culture and heritage. To ensure my safety, I now perform in circles and spaces in Canberra which are worlds apart from the community I grew up in. However, Western Sydney is the birthplace of my connection to culture and my queer survivorship, both of which form the central themes of my art in Canberra.
