Chitra Ganesh: Eyes of Time<\/h2>\n

Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, Herstory Gallery
\nDecember 12, 2014-July 12, 2015<\/p>\n

For more than a decade, Brooklyn-based artist Chitra Ganesh has used the iconography of mythology, literature, and popular culture to bring to light feminist and queer narratives. In Chitra Ganesh: Eyes of Time, Ganesh explores ideas of femininity, empowerment, and multiplicity creating a site-specific mixed media installation that draws inspiration from the Brooklyn Museum’s encyclopedic collection.<\/p>\n

In a monumental new mural, Ganesh takes Kali, the South Asian goddess of destruction and rebirth featured in Judy Chicago’s The Dinner Party, as a starting point for portraying female power and plurality. These themes are extended into artist-curated vitrines that showcase works from the Museum’s renowned Egyptian, Indian, and Contemporary Collections.<\/p>\n

This exhibition is made possible with support from the Elizabeth A. Sackler Foundation. The exhibition is organized by Saisha Grayson, Assistant Curator, Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
