I don鈥檛 want to be there when it happens

11 Nov, 2017 - 24 Dec, 2017

Starting from the fragile and complex socio-political relationship between India and Pakistan in the era of contemporary warfare, I don鈥檛 want to be there when it happens investigates, in a broader sense, the psychology of trauma.

The artists invited to participate in this exhibition reference unpleasant situations; from their own everyday experience of the contradictions and problems they face in their personal universe to the alarming signals of the profound existential unease of our age.

I don鈥檛 want to be there when it happens explores the relationship between art practice and trauma, loss and grief. It is an examination of what art can contribute in the aftermath of such experiences, of how it can produce meaning and discourse through the act of engagement.
