Barkha has been invited by Suchitra to create works that connect with Suchuitra’s new work We are nomads, we are dreamers, which is a solo exhibition of newly commissioned works by Suchitra Mattai, celebrating the migratory oceanic journeys of past, present, and future diasporic communities. Inspired by the Park’s position along the East River, which flows into the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, Mattai’s installation features a series of monumental, soft sculptures made from vintage saris. Activated by monthly dance performances, this exhibition pays homage to the artist’s Indo-Caribbean ancestors and the stories of many Queens residents.
Barkha will be presenting solo and ensemble works on June 12th, July 18th, and August 25th!
