Changing the Conversation: Malini Gupta

Meet artist Malini Gupta whose book, The Fortune Teller, is included in the Collins Library exhibit Changing the Conversation. As the artist states, "through this work I seek to investigate the deeply entrenched gender biases that plague the Indian society. It is comprised of 2 parts: part one is the game of Fortune Teller; part two is my personal childhood story. The Fortune Teller -- an unassuming childhood game that predicts your future based on choices you make. As the viewer interacts with this seemingly benign and innocuous game they are confronted by the cold, hard statistics of gender inequality in India. For the second part of the piece, I narrate my first hand experiences of growing up in India."  Malini will discuss this work and others as well as her work as the Creative Director of OCHRE Art and Design in Portland.
