About Sudipta Das

Hailing from Silchar (a town in Assam), Sudipta’s artistic excursion started when she visited Shantiniketan which changed her life forever. Sudipta’s practice revolves around the tenacity, fragility and importance that paper has in the lives of people and how it shapes their identity. She transforms paper into doll-like sculptures and is inspired by the Dakjee doll-making technique which she had learnt during her residency in Korea in 2017. From migrations, both forced and voluntary to climate change, from identity crisis to recording historic events and diaspora, the artist touches upon the calamities that befall those in transience as they seek refuge after having lost all they ever had and all they have ever known.
