KATHA KATHAN

21st Jan 2023
STATE ART GALLERY, HYDERABAD

KathaKathan - India has a rich tradition of storytelling - from our ancient bards who travelled with nothing but stories in their quivers, to our potters and weavers who adorned their craft with re-creations of their daily lives, to dancers who told us of the love and beauty and anger of the Gods - we were spoilt for choice. And yet every new generation brings with it still new forms of storytelling, new mediums to express themselves and new styles to engage our senses. Keeping with that same tradition of balladeers and puppeteers and master craftsmen, this exhibition is yet another foray into the art of storytelling. The exhibition is divided into 10 sections, each section narrating a different part of the artist’s world and a different part of her soul. Love, anger and mischief express themselves differently in different stories and in different worlds. And so, with some familiar characters, a fresh perspective and a unique style, these works of art vibrantly add to the glorious tradition of katha kathan (storytelling)
