Shilpa Gupta's 2025 Exhibition Highlights and International Presence
In 2025, Shilpa Gupta debuted her first solo show, 'Lines of Flight,' at the Ishara Art Foundation in Dubai. Among her works was a dynamic piece called StillTheyKnowNotWhatIDream (2021), featuring flapboards that expressed poetic thoughts on power relations. In February, she showcased two solo exhibitions: one at Bikaner House in New Delhi, courtesy of Vadehra Art Gallery, and another named 'Some suns fell off' at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in Los Angeles. The latter examined the fraught borders of the Indian subcontinent and included 1:7690 (2023), a ball of fabric scraps smuggled from Bangladesh into India. Gupta also took part in various international group exhibitions and introduced a permanent light installation in Doha, while engaging in festivals throughout Canada, the UK, and Macao.
