# Project Description For Both of Us Disha Gupta Summary Final work Disha Gupta’s curatorial practice unfolds through a feminist and decolonial lens, tracing how photographs carry memory, history, and emotion across time and place.

So I take for both of us.” The exhibition explores visual inheritance and asks: Can an artist create their own vision while carrying the weight and gift of inherited legacy?
