Shilpa Gupta: For, In Your Tongue, I Cannot Fit | 2023

Editors: Shilpa Gupta and Salil Tripathi

Published by Context; Westland Books, India

15.8 x 23.6 x 3 cm

Conceived in dialogue with artist Shilpa Gupta’s multimedia installation, the book brings together many of the poets featured in the installation—every one of them persecuted for their words. It is an immersive experience, featuring illustrations and images alongside the written pieces. It is also the culmination of an effort of collaboration and support, often under extremely difficult conditions, forming a network that spans countries. The result is an anthology that speaks truth to power and is a testament to the community of words.
