During a tour of the exhibition, Poulomi Basu provides insights into her work.
The artist Poulomi Basu interweaves documentary with fantastical narratives, creating speculative visions of the future that both reflect the present of her protagonists and indicate paths of self-empowerment and resistance.
In a Q&A with Nadine Wietlisbach, director of Fotomuseum Winterthur, and Sonja Palade, co-curator, Poulomi Basu discusses central themes in her artistic practice and her specific working methods.
This event is part of the exhibition Poulomi Basu – Phantasmagoria. Indian artist Poulomi Basu creates powerful visual worlds that blur the lines between reality and fiction. The exhibition combines photography, film, virtual reality, and installation. The works focus on women from the Global South, highlighting paths to self-empowerment and making exclusion and gender-based violence visible.
The conversation will be held in English.
