LATITUDE 28 presents The Personal is Mythical, curated by Bhavna Kakar, a group exhibition featuring new bodies of work by Bhajju Shyam, Neha Sahai, and Viraj Khanna. This exhibition explores how private narratives, memories, and artistic vocabularies can evoke timeless, universal themes, transforming the deeply personal into the resonantly mythical. It begins with the premise that myth is not simply an ancient inheritance but a living mode of meaning-making, shaped by contemporary experience. Myths help us tell stories about ourselves, our cultures, our fears, and our desires, giving form to memory, imagination, and identity.
Contemporary Indian visual language is built from fragments of memory, inherited stories, cultural codes, subversive aesthetics, and above all, lived experience. The Personal is Mythical brings together three distinctive artistic voices who are rewriting mythologies through image-making from radically different yet intersecting vantage points.
