She works with several mediums which include theater, videos, installations along with mixed media paintings and drawings. The subjects of her creations are influenced by her experience of migration in the aftermath of the partition of India. Pressing feminist issues have become a part of her creative output.[3] Malani uses a visual language that moves from stop motion, erasure animations, reverse paintings and to digital animations, where she draws directly with her finger onto a tablet.[4]
Malani made her first video work 'Dream Houses' (1969), as the youngest and only female participant of the Vision Exchange Workshop (VIEW), an experimental multi-disciplinary artist workshop in Bombay (Mumbai) by late artist Akbar Padamsee.[5]
Her works have been shown at various museums, including the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam,[6] the National Gallery in London, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.[7]
