DRAWING IN THE DARK

In the book Drawing in the Dark, we deep dive into her series on the Bengal Borderlands where she traces clandestine routes and flows that persist, despite the near completion of the worlds longest border fence between India and Bangladesh. Through interviews, photographs, records with incisions, smuggled everyday objects and drawings made from prohibited cough syrup and marijuana, Guptas incisive and poetic works unravel stories of desire, mobility and ethics in the face of laws and censorship.
