In this episode, the internationally renowned Indian artist Suhasini Kejriwal talks about her work The Garden of Un-earthly Delights exhibited at Frieze Sculpture in London, why she studied art abroad, how surrealism became an early influence, how she builds imaginary scenes from real elements, how lockdown affected her view of nature, how she turned frenetic Indian city street scenes into art, and about working with communities in deprived areas of Kolkata.
