I’m excited to announce my upcoming exhibition, Myths, Dreams and New Realities at Saatchi Gallery. This will be my first exhibition abroad, a moment I’m truly grateful for and very much looking forward to.
Co-curated with Saatchi Gallery, the Bagri Foundation presents Myths, Dreams and New Realities. The exhibition spotlights 13 emerging artists from across the Asian diaspora, who each reimagine cultural identity through personal mythologies and visionary material practices.
Throughout the exhibition, human and non-human landscapes are revealed through painting and sculpture. Artists reimagine their relationship with land and body, drawing inspiration from craft traditions and ancestral memory. Whether working with natural pigments, found materials or industrial processes, each artist builds a unique reality, some built on myths or dreams whilst others on our own bodies, offering not just new ways of seeing, but exploring new ways of being.
The exhibition is on show from 24 October through 30 November. More information can be found here!
On Sunday 26 October at 12:00, there will be a curatorial walkthrough with Chelsea Pettitt from Bagri Foundation and myself. You’re more than welcome to join us!
