Borrowing from her career graph, artist Shilpa Gupta has collaborated with Sara Vetteth to create an interactive children’s book, Everyday Art, about the infinite possibilities of exploring art, especially among young people

This section looks at her student life at Sir JJ School of Art, Mumbai in 1995
Everyday Art (Tulika Books) is a refreshing approach to introduce young readers to art, and to discover its enormous possibilities…
I met Sara (Vetteth) at the opening of the Kochi Biennale in 2018, where I was showing a sound installation based on the 100 imprisoned poets. The research for this work had stretched over two years and had filled me with so many stories that simply making an installation didn’t feel like a complete culmination of the process. As an extension of the project, I developed two workshops that were conducted in Kochi — one art-based, designed for children, and another literature-focused, for young adults — centred on the stories of these poets.
