On Tuesday, 13 December 2022, from 18:00, AAIE Center for Contemporary Art inaugurates the exhibition Rivers and Roads : meandering stories of India, a group show combining the work of eleven internationally renowned Indian artists. Through paintings, installation, photographs, immersive video projections and perfumes, the exhibition describes the fascination of India, involving the spectator in a dimension that also excites the senses.
In the crossroads of realities and memories, in the essence of our lives, as we search profusely for the meaning of our existence, a common question is instilled among those who live in and away from their country, ‘What is an India that you see with your eyes and what is an India that you can feel when you close your eyes?’
India, a country that has its foundation revolving around the stories of the freedom fight, stories of partition, stories of farmlands, the intercultural interaction irrespective of thousands of dialects; has also a foundation revolving around the banalities of life rooting back to the harsh sounds of the traffic, hot naan made on the wooden chakla, the garlands of jasmine flowers seen on the market, the sound of rivers that you wake up everyday to, the sight of long beautiful sarees and more.
River and Roads being a project that evokes the sense of homeland from the perspectives of natives and Migrants presents before the viewers the chain of tales from India that are Culturally enriching and intriguing. Here we see how memories and realities are entangled. The practices of the artists in this show contest and contextualize a vivid syncretism that colours the hues of India. An ancient and modern civilisation revives through this exhibition offering a new history.
Participating Artists: Arpita Akhanda, Akshay Raj singh Rathore, Ranjeeta Kumari, Mario D'souza, Darshan Manjare, Jahnvi Lakhota Nandan, Amol K Patil, Rupali Patil, Manjot Kaur, Birender Yadav and Vanshika Agrawal.
The exhibition is part of the Asia A+ programme, a project initiated by the European Association of Independent Artists and the AAIE.
