VISUAL ART
The visual arts exhibition brings together over 20 visual artists from India, Pakistan, Germany, and the US, whose works address the many dimensions of gender and sexuality issues in modern South Asia, including issues surrounding the constraints of women in rural areas, sexual choice, and the pardah system. The multitude of works includes traditional/folk art, contemporary paintings and prints, pop/calendar posters, photographs, digital art, sculptural installation, and indigenous works of Mithila Painting. Evocative and spirited, the exhibition is designed to examine how South Asian women and men have been influenced by gender constructions, thereby promoting powerful dialogue through audience engagement and response.
