Irina Aristarkhova: "UnMyth" Book Launch at Mumbai Gallery Week
In January 2026, Stamps Professor Irina Aristarkhova traveled to Mumbai Gallery Weekend for the launch of UnMyth: Worlds and Works of Mithu Sen. The book explores the expansive, boundary-pushing practice of Mithu Sen, offering new critical perspectives on their worlds and works.
The launch brought Aristarkhova and acclaimed Delhi-based artist Mithu Sen together with Shireen Gandhy, founder of Chemould Prescott Road; curator and writer Nancy Adajania; and Bipin Shah, Publisher & Managing Director of Mapin Publishing.
This artist monograph, published by Mapin Publishing, presents a first comprehensive study of the artwork of Mithu Sen, a major contemporary artist and poet based in New Delhi, India. Sen’s work spans over two decades of making and hundreds of exhibitions, projects, performances, and word art, unveiling an unparalleled history of experiments with materials and concepts. Sen’s art imagines new worlds for us, including to escape to and from.
