‘It hasn’t been easy,’ says Hiranmoy Guha, an artist submitting to an upcoming climate-focused art exhibit

Our Warming Planet: Visions of a Sustainable Future is an upcoming art exhibition presented by Creative Malden, Coffee Shop Artists, and the City of Malden. This collaborative event aims to explore the intersection of art and science by inviting artists to interpret themes of climate change and sustainability through diverse mediums such as photography, painting, paper art, fabric art, and mixed media. The exhibition will align with Malden’s Climate Action Plan, which outlines local strategies to address environmental challenges and promote sustainability. With an open call for submissions, artists are encouraged to creatively engage with these themes and use their work as a catalyst for meaningful conversations within the community.

Among the artists hoping to participate is Hiranmoy Guha, a Winchester-based artist and retired engineer, who is stepping outside his usual painting style to tackle climate-focused themes for the exhibition. We talk to him 10 days before the submission deadline.
