Meet Sheli Gupta and Diafrel

Go beyond the artworks and hear directly from the two artists behind Almost Seen.

Join Sheli Gupta and Diafrel for a live conversation about their artistic practices, creative processes and the ideas that shaped their work for the exhibition.

Although their materials, backgrounds and approaches are different, both artists explore what happens when something is hidden, overlooked or pushed out of sight.

What We'll Discuss

• The ideas behind their work in Almost Seen

• Their individual artistic journeys and practices

• How materials shape their creative process

• The role of visibility, concealment and what remains unseen in their work

• How two different artistic perspectives came together in one exhibition

• An audience Q&A with both artists

Meet the Artists
