Appearing Exhibition in Pune Explores Space, Identity, and Surveillance
There's an art show in Pune called 'Appearing' that talks about how people take up space and how they are seen.
The artists show different ways people appear in society, like how women work at home, how cameras watch us, and how tattoos tell stories.
One artist even shows how people are remembered when they are not there.
The show is about big ideas like who gets to be seen and who doesn't, and how that makes us feel.
It's on until January 10 at the VHC gallery.
The 'Appearing' exhibition in Pune explores themes of space, identity, and surveillance.
Curated by Yash Vikram, the exhibition features works by six artists from diverse backgrounds.
The exhibition comments on global sociopolitics and the conflict about occupying space, particularly in the context of India and the 21st century.
Artists explore various perspectives on appearing in a system, including women's labor, surveillance, and cultural memory.
The exhibition is on display at the VHC gallery in Koregaon Park until January 10.
