Many Visions, Many Versions
Many Visions, Many Versions explores the breadth and variety of cultural traditions in India, revealing a dynamic aesthetic that remains deeply rooted in traditional culture, yet vitally responsive to issues of global concern. Rather than taking a conventional approach to exhibiting these four distinct indigenous artistic traditions by separating them into sections distinguished by tribal and cultural affinities, the curators intentionally display the paintings thematically; accentuating the shared cultural features and contemporary concerns of these four communities that underlies the diversity of the artists鈥 unique expressive forms, techniques, and styles. The exhibition is divided into four broad categories: Myth and Cosmology, Nature 鈥 real and imagined, Village Life, and Contemporary Explorations.
