In conversation with Poulomi Basu

Poulomi Basu is a neurodiverse artist known for her exploration of the interrelationship between systems of power and bodies through work that exists at the limits of art, film, technology and activism.
Join her, in conversation with author and design critic Alice Rawsthorn, to discuss the new immersive installation "Maya: The Birth of a Superhero".
