Pale Sentinels: Metaphors For Dialogues
28 Jun, 2018 - 28 Jul, 2018
Aicon Gallery New York is pleased to present Pale Sentinels, a group exhibition curated by Salima Hashmi that reflects upon the faded accounts, mementos, and narratives of loss that came about as a result of the complete demographic transformation during the 1947 India-Pakistan partition. Since then, both nations have attempted to define and redefine themselves many times. Subtle shifts have occurred, layers rearranged, partly unobtrusive and occasionally self-consciously brazen. Histories brim with contradictory chronicles, with paradoxes, with elusive truths. Tantalizing possibilities of reframing materialize. Poets, artists, and filmmakers probe and shift the compass. Seventy years is as good a time as any to muse upon the collective residue.
