Artist
Shilpa Gupta
Born 1976 in Mumbai, India, and currently based there.
Shilpa Gupta explores aspects of mobility, censorship, resistance, and the fragility of language in her artwork, inviting us to reconsider the structures that govern our lives. While based in a global contemporaneity, her work remains deeply connected to local contexts. She gives voice to erased narratives and silenced histories and gently draws out traces of resilience and emerging solidarities in specific places.
