Latitude 28 presents Elsewhere In Northeast India, curated by Waswo X. Waswo, a solo show by Chandan Bez Baruah at Shridharani Gallery, Triveni Kala Sangam.
Chandan Bez Baruah’s “Elsewhere in Northeast India” reveals the stark, mountainous undergrowth of Assam through the lens of history, culture, and contemporary conflict. His art, coaxed from wooden boards, evokes an intimate journey through the jungle, inviting us to silently observe the beauty and significance of his most treasured haunts. Through Chandan’s eyes, we experience the forest as a young man who has shared moments with soldiers and nature alike, deeply connecting with the landscape.
“Elsewhere in Northeast India” invites viewers to witness the hidden wonders of nature through Chandan’s intricate woodcuts. This exhibition calls for quiet contemplation, encouraging an appreciation of the delicate interplay between nature and human experience.
