In this episode of Culture in a Time of Crises, artist Dayanita Singh talks to Shwetal A.

“I don’t want to be a print on your wall. And neither do I want to be a book on your bookshelf. I want that in-between space.”
– Dayanita Singh, Artist
“It took me 20 years to have the confidence to say I’m a book artist. Being a book artist doesn’t mean that I only make books, but it means that I have a different relationship with photographs. I’m not comfortable with the print on the wall in a frame behind glass.” – Dayanita Singh, Artist
