through sep 7
artist talk
Thursday, August 14 at 6 pm
(5 pm cash bar)
Join us for a conversation with artist Suchitra
Mattai and Karin Campbell, Phil Willson Curator
of Contemporary Art and the principal curator
for the Riley Contemporary Artists Project
Gallery. Mattai explores stories of migration and
the search for identity that diasporic communities
often experience. Comprising hundreds of colorful
South Asian saris encircling a pool of broken
glass, Suchitra Mattai: The Fall reflects on the
collective trauma of her ancestors, indentured
servants who were forcibly relocated to Guyana,
and casts the gallery space as a site of healing and
future imagining.
General Public: $10
Joslyn Members: free
Advance registration required at joslyn.org;
walk-ins are welcome as space allows.
