Curators

Latika Gupta is an art historian and curator based in Delhi. She was associate editor at MARG Publications from 2016-2020, and is currently part of the editorial collective of ‘100 Histories of 100 Worlds in 1 Object’, and an associate editor at South Asian Studies. She has been co-mentor for the Curatorial Intensive South Asia programme (Khoj & Goethe-Institut/MMB) from 2019-2025. Latika currently works as Director, Sher-Gil Sundaram Arts Foundation and teaches courses on Trans-Himalayan visual and material cultures as visiting faculty at Ashoka University.Sheba Chhachhi’s lens- based works investigate contemporary questions about gender, the body, the city, cultural memory and eco-philosophy, through intimate, sensorial encounters.

Chhachhi began as an activist and photographer documenting the women’s movement in India. By the 1990s, she moved to creating collaborative staged photographs, eventually turning to large multimedia installations. Her works retrieve marginal worlds: of women, mendicants, forgotten forms of labour, and often draw on pre-modern thought and visual histories, interweaving the mythic and the social.

Chhachhi has exhibited widely in India, and internationally, her works are held in significant public and private collections, including MoMa, New York, Tate Modern, UK, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, National Gallery of Modern Art, India, amongst many others. She was awarded the Juror’s Prize for contemporary art in Asia by the Singapore Art Museum in 2011 and in 2018 the Thun Prize for Art & Ethics. She lives and works in New Delhi.
