Untitled work by Lubna Agha, Oil on canvas
This generation of women embraced weaving, pottery, photography, video and performance, as alternatives to painting and sculpture. For them, the medium was a vehicle for messages of resistance. Through this show, well-established artists, such as Arpita Singh (born 1937), rub shoulders with emerging women artists like Ayesha Sultana (born 1985).
On: February 7, 11 am to 6 pm
At: Jhaveri Contemporary, Krishna Niwas, 58A Walkeshwar Road.

A Journey of Secrets
The debut solo of New York-based artist Samanta Batra Mehta spans prints, drawings, installation and photography. His art is characterised by an intertwining of the human form and nature, realised as black and white drawings.
Memory Box series #2 by Samanta Batra Mehta; made using vintage box, glass bottles, maps, collage, 22 k gold leaf, etc
These drawings appear in Mehta’s sculptural works, where objects such as vintage radio sets are re-purposed. The photographic prints, too, are constructed by a layering of images collected over years of travel.
