Nalini Malani's works suggest the vulnerability and precariousness of human existence with a personal iconography that draws from ancient and universal mythologies. Social, feminist, and environmental justice are at the heart of her artistic quest and materialize in the exhibition as an ensemble of large-scale immersive installations—video projections and animations, shadow plays and painted panels. The artist has also created a mural and a performance specifically for the Fundació Joan Miró.

The title You Don't Hear Me is a direct challenge to the patriarchy, an interlocutor who Malani views as indifferent and insensitive to the fair demands of vulnerable people, particularly women.

Malani won the 2019 edition of the Joan Miró Prize and according to the jury panel, "Nalini Malani shares Joan Miró's radical imagination and sociopolitical awareness". The jury also considered that other points in common between the two artists include an extraordinary intellectual curiosity and an ongoing dialogue with some of the most outstanding figures of their times, who influenced their respective outputs.
