Description
EPISODE 31 of ‘All About Art’: Artist Interview with Ishita Chakraborty (in collaboration with ARTPOWHER Contemporary)
In this episode, I chat with artist Ishita Chakraborty, an artist and poet born in West Bengal, India. We talk about her sculptural works as well as her poetry and do this within the context of her most recent solo exhibition with ARTPOWHER Contemporary at Volta Art Fair in Basel. Her practice investigates the themes of migration, displacement, and trauma of colonialism, as well as the importance of oral histories, language, and identities.
Ishita has received several grants and awards, including Visiting Artist Fellowship at Lakhshmi Mitaal SAI, HARVARD UNIVERSITY (2020-21), Credit Suisse Förderpreis in Switzerland (2021), and has been invited as a guest for the upcoming annual exhibition in Aargauer Kunsthaus, Aarau, Switzerland (2022), among other accomplishments. Keep listening to learn about her professional path as well as her artistic practice, and what practicing art means to her.
