Extending the reach of the FURLA SERIES, Fondazione Furla is staging a solo show for Shilpa Gupta at GAM – Galleria d’Arte Moderna, Milan, opening in September 2026.

As ‘What Holds Still’, her new exhibition brings some of her monumental works at the Hamburger Bahnhof: Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart in Berlin, Shilpa Gupta reflects on the recurring themes of her work and what it means to be an artist

'What Still Holds’, her exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof, explores speaking out when silence is imposed.

From barbed wire to whispering walls, Shilpa Gupta turns borders, censorship and identity into must-see, brain-twisting art – and the market is finally waking up.

From barbed wire to whispering walls, Shilpa Gupta turns borders, censorship and identity into must-see, brain-twisting art – and the market is finally waking up.

The term she gives her practice is ‘everyday art’ and to know more about this extremely engaging and moving ideology, I connected with one of the most important names in contemporary art, Shilpa Gupta.

Poetry, politics, and glowing light installations: why Shilpa Gupta’s radical sound pieces are turning quiet whispers into loud art hype – and why collectors are watching closely.

A symphony of 100 forbidden, censored voices: in For, in your tongue, I cannot fit, Shilpa Gupta gives voice to poets who have been imprisoned throughout history for their writings or their beliefs.

The awarding of the Possehl-Prize for International Art 2025 to Shilpa Gupta is not merely an accolade, but the celebration of one of the most urgent and conceptually penetrating voices in the contemporary art scene. The Indian artist, born in 1976 and based in Mumbai, inaugurates her first significant solo museum exhibition in Germany on this occasion: “we last met in the mirror”, hosted at the Kunsthalle St. Annen in Lübeck.

What happens when art crosses real borders — and people get punished for it ?
In How Shilpa Gupta Reinterprets Lines of Control, Mark Rappolt explores the artist’s haunting soundscapes, smuggled textiles, and bottled poems that speak to censorship, exile, and resistance.
This isn’t just art about borders — it’s art that challenges their very existence.
Visually striking and politically urgent, Gupta’s work asks: can belief survive repression ?
