Matter of Fact: Material as a Political Act : KAVI GUPTA | WASHINGTON BLVD. FL. 2
Current and Forthcoming exhibition
Overview
From our earliest exhibitions to the artists we continue to support today, we have made space for practices that speak to inherited memory, spiritual complexity, and postcolonial identity. The artists we represent do more than make work—they make meaning out of histories that have been fragmented, shaped by the tensions between cultural invisibility and creative inheritance, suppressed, or ignored. These artists explore the politics of materiality, how thread, clay, pigment, and gesture can serve as acts of reclamation, resistance, and cultural continuity.
