India International Centre presents a group show Weaving Water: Feminine Countercultures in Paint and Print at the Main Art Gallery in Kamla Devi Complex. Curated by Jyoti A Kathpalia, Weaving Water: Feminine Countercultures in Paint and Print explores the weaving of this text and art focussing on how eminent women artists engage with the lived experiences of women and their day to day-to-day struggles as well as societal oppression. Anchored in Ajeet Cour’s autobiography Weaving Water: An Autobiography the exhibition brings these narratives into dialogue with the visual expressions of leading woman artists of India. These women artists explore issues of gender inequality and envision alternate spaces for expressing agency and the feminine which is not mediated by masculinist ideologies. The exhibition aims to foreground the works of eminent women artists alongside Ajeet Cour’s feminist and uncompromising text.
