Presented by South Asia Institute and guest curated by Shelly Bahl, this multifaceted project documents the history of South Asian art and artists in Chicago and shares this history through an archival exhibition and an installation of contemporary art. The narrative begins with colonial-era perspectives, including those reflected in documentation and photographs from the Indian Pavilion at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition, and continues through the past 25 years, documenting South Asian American artists’ participation in exhibitions and programs throughout the city.
