a distinguishing feature of kapur's work as a director has been its open and interactive nature. she has worked extensively in collaboration with visual and video artists and filmmakers. some of the people she has worked with are arpita singh, bhupen khakhar, madhusree dutta, nalini malani, nilima sheikh and vivan sundaram. she is one of the founding members of vivadi, a working group of painters, musicians, writers and theatre practitioners. "porous borders between art forms", according to kapur, take the work "to a level where meanings emerge in multitudes."
