Bodies We Carry exhibition in Thiruvananthapuram is an exploration into varied definitions of body
The 'Bodies We Carry' art exhibition in Thiruvananthapuram features works from seven artists exploring diverse definitions of the human body. The collection uses various mediums, including painting and found objects, to examine themes of memory, strength, and identity.
Why it matters
It showcases regional cultural initiatives and the evolving role of art in exploring contemporary social and personal identity.
The constantly evolving interpretations of what constitutes a body occupy centre stage at the Bodies We Carry art exhibition, organised by Triva, currently on at Bhavageetham Prayaana Art Hub at Kowdiar, Thiruvananthapuram .
Curated by artist Sreekrishnan KP, the exhibition features the works of seven artists: Anu Kalikal, Rahana, Vineetha Wilfred, Lalkumar K, Firoz Nediyath, Shihab and Robert Lopez, who explore what a body means to them, through their art. From canvas to postcards and even food, the show ties together disparate definitions of body.
“The artists were selected based on themes of their work,” explains Sreekrishnan. He was inspired to choose the theme after coming across Vineetha’s work at another exhibition. “Soon, other artists whose works aligned with the core idea were included in the display.”
