This exhibition brings together the evocative works of Suraj Kumar Dolui and Oliva Saha, foregrounding women’s enduring role as architects of cultural identity. Through their practices, the artists examine resilience, tradition, and self-expression, engaging with the intersection of personal experiences and broader societal narratives. Suraj Kumar Dolui’s practice extends to sculptural forms, including dolls, which offer a poignant critique of the roles women occupy within social hierarchies. These forms contrast the depth of their labor and creativity with reductive stereotypes. Drawing inspiration from rural Bengal’s Bagdi community, Suraj highlights the everyday artistry embedded in agrarian life, focusing on gestures like plastering walls with cow dung and soil. These acts, laden with cultural memory, become metaphors for resilience and the integration of creativity into daily life. His layered approach, incorporating printmaking and performance, underscores the interplay of domestic artistry and collective identity. Oliva Saha’s introspection manifests in her exploration of materiality, where she reimagines the pitcher as a cultural and sculptural form. Evoking conundrums around the historic multicultural rhetoric of Indian pottery and Greek vases, Oliva examines the vessel’s physical and symbolic resonance. Her experiments with pigments, stains, and textures reflect the emotional and transformative dimensions of womanhood. By situating objects as metaphors for identity and memory, Oliva crafts narratives that bridge personal and collective histories. Together, their works celebrate the unspoken contributions of women, blending performance, materiality, and abstraction. This exhibition honors the transformative power of the feminine spirit in shaping cultural narratives that echo across time and space.
