‘ONE STORY IS NOT ENOUGH’- A Glimpse At The Inter-Disciplinary Art Exhibition ( Image Source : PR Handout )
New Delhi: Engendered presents ‘One Story is Not Enough’ – an inter-disciplinary arts exhibition that explores the implications of the new emergent cultural landscape post the global pandemic, as a space of both possibility and exile. While everything seems interconnected and the world is viewed as a community in which distance and isolation have been dramatically reduced by the advent of social media, the show digs into the real and speculative phenomenon of culture both shrinking and expanding at the same time, the perils of homogenizing, and how the image, an instrument of seeing can often induce empirical blindness, due to technological advances that allow for an instantaneous, constant sharing across a still widely unequal global and local world.
Curated by Myna Mukherjee, ‘One Story is Not Enough’ features a variety of artistic perspectives, across mediums and styles ranging from artificial intelligence to classical dance, digital to artisanal, and contemporary to timeless, with artists from India, USA, Iran, and UK & Sri Lanka.
Artists include Anna Riddler in collaboration with Caroline Sinders, Ranbir Kaleka (first NFT drop), Puneet Kaushik, Harshit Agrawal, Nur Mahammad, Mandakini Devi, Satyakam Saha, Babak Haghi, Maryam Firuzi, Nazli Abbaspour, Soheila Esmaeli, and the Nrityagram Dance Ensemble (India) in collaboration with The Chitrasena Dance Company (Sri Lanka).
The opening will include a talk, co-presented by Avid Learning, with guest speakers Christina Maxwell (Director, High Line Nine Galleries, – New York City’s leading experiential gallery), Lisa Ray (Co-founder, The Upside Space – a curator-led digital art platform that spotlights artistic expressions from Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Middle East), Surupa Sen (Artistic Director, Nrityagram – India’s first modern Gurukul for Indian classical dances), Ranbir Kaleka (one of India’s foremost multi-media artist) and Myna Mukherjee (Cultural Producer/ Curator, Director, Engendered – Trans-national arts & human rights); in conversation with Asad Laljee (CEO, Avid Learning).
Key Highlights Of The Exhibition:
Four lens-based artists from Iran, including three powerful women artists exploring gender and sexuality & works that continue to represent the desire for life and freedom in the face of oppression & unrest. As the artistic communities across the world stay glued to social media and news intensely on what is happening in Iran, this is an effort to be in solidarity with the unbearable emotional impact this has had on the protestors and the artists, whose voices are routinely suppressed and silenced. Some of the artists and their gallerists will be in attendance.
