An intimate conversation with the artist behind the exhibition

This Meet the Artist session invites you to spend time with Sheli Gupta, whose work sits at the intersection of the body, memory, desire, and resistance. Known for her distinctive use of thread, cloth, wire, and mixed media, Sheli’s practice transforms the female form from something observed into something that speaks.

In this session, Sheli will talk about her journey as an artist, her choice of materials, and the ideas that continue to shape her work. She’ll share how thread becomes more than a medium and how her figures hold both vulnerability and strength at once.

Date: 1 March 2026

Time: 8:00 - 9:00 PM (IST)

2:30 - 3:30 PM (GMT)
