Nobina Gupta is a social arts practitioner, researcher, educator, the founder director of Disappearing Dialogues Collective. Over a career spanning 29 years, she has initiated and curated interdisciplinary interactions that engage different communities, institutions and social groups through interactive artworks, heritage mapping, research and documentation. These are collaborative activities that seek to conserve cultural, social and environmental losses, sediments and memories intrinsic to a fragile socio-spatial landscape.
An alumnus of Kala Bhavan, Santineketan, and a NET scholar, her works have always been centred around ecology and sustainability. She seeks to raise vital questions – reimagining relationships, creating dialogues between water, waste and wetlands, initiating co-creation and co-production, and breaking norms to disseminate research and community-based grounded learnings, focusing on process, practice and everyday life.
