Experimenter, Ballygunge Kolkata presents Like Air, I’ll Rise, which anchors itself within conversations about care, solidarity, and resistance. Drawing its title from Maya Angelou’s poem ‘Still I Rise’, the exhibition presents works by twelve women practitioners, including artists, activists, poets, dancers, filmmakers and collectives, who draw upon archives of the present and past, as well as personal introspection and collective listening.The participants find shared spaces of resilience in private and public trajectories, anchoring their works in interactions within their communities as well as in moments spent in self-negotiation. The exhibition explores cycles of rupture and regeneration that are influenced by forces of structural inequality, power hegemonies, global conflicts and reflexive inquiries of the self.
