On the 29th September at 7pm at Alliance française du Bengale, we are pleased to present “Disappering Dialogues” by Nobina Gupta
DISAPPEARING DIALOGUES
Time is hastily making a lot of things obsolete, irrelevant and outdated. But, if we care to put a different lens on the things that are of little or no significance in our life today, then we might come across a completely different story.
Perhaps it is our ignorance that is making us blind. Taking us away from our own future. The looming threat of an existential crisis.
The Disappearing Dialogues is a series of interactions with nature, people and objects that are knocking on the doors of extinction. It is a symbol of hope. A voice that stimulates a cultural response engages viewers, blends imagery and knowledge and embraces life with all its intricacies.

Being an avid traveler to the Himalayas her work is inspired by the observations, filtered through a sensibility and naturally attuned to the language of abstraction. Her imagery has developed over time by expressing ideas in varied mediums through her profound understanding of contemporary visual culture.
Engaging viewers into intimate personal encounters with interactive Public Art Projects, Installations, video projections, ink painting she raises questions about the ongoing paradigms of development and sustainability within the present society.
