Sutapa Biswas’ art is underpinned by an interest in colonial histories and how this relates to gender, race and class. She aims to reinstate South Asian hidden histories, exposing the systems that have silenced the female voice and highlighting the truths and consequences of colonialism.
At this online event, Biswas will discuss her acclaimed new film, Lumen, with feminist art historian Griselda Pollock – addressing themes of motherhood, migration, loss, time, and place in relation to personal narratives. The conversation will explore the feminist art context and the decolonial politics that Biswas began shaping during her time in Leeds in the 1980s, and provide insight into how Biswas’ art practice connects revelations around colonial histories and their continued personal impact on the everyday life of individuals.
