An ode to female artistry, with interdisciplinary conversations around the nature of self-building, will soon assume a novel avatar, in the way of an all-women group show christened (ME)(MORY). The exhibition, curated by Dipti Anand, is available for viewing at Vadehra Art Gallery, New Delhi, and features an eclectic collection of artworks by nine leading artists with a subcontinental presence. These include Faiza Butt, Ruby Chishti, Anoli Perera, Bakula Nayak, Apnavi Makanji, Rakhi Peswani, Himali Singh Soin, Biraaj Dodiya, and Shrimanti Saha.
“Over the immersive course of varied experiences, expressions and interests, I kept gravitating back to the idea of self-making. The genesis of this exhibition was in the contemplation of self-construction and its visual potential. The self-generating individual is a subject beset equally with conviction and vagaries, which are as cognitively expressible in art as in life; as a symbol, as a figure, as a truth, as a dream, as a myth or as a landscape,” says Anand.
