A YEAR IN REVIEW for Indrani Ashe (Art ‘06)

“In October I was invited to participate in the Asian Performance Art Lab Residency curated by Ming Poon and Frederika Tsai ... "On Getting Dressed" was a 20 minute performance lecture integrated with video in which I discuss the lack of South Asian Femme representation alongside orientalist misrepresentation as I transform myself into a contemporary goddess, in the attempt to become a body that is visible, valuable and powerful despite the weight of history.”

A YEAR IN REVIEW for Indrani Ashe (Art ‘06)

“In February I was invited by curator Paulina Olszewska to show my video installation Fifty Dates of Grey as part of &I<3U2 at Galeria Studio in Warsaw. &I<3U2 explored how women artists speak about love, feelings, their own bodies, their sensuality and other private experiences.”

This exhibition included a variety of artists and works that come from different generations.
