Join artist Raqib Shaw in conversation with exhibition co-curator Pieranna Cavalchini on the public opening evening of the Gardner’s exhibition Raqib Shaw: Ballads of East and West.
Born in Calcutta, India, raised in Kashmir, and now based in London, Shaw paints colorful, jewel-like works infused with mystery and memory.
This conversation will trace Shaw’s artistic journey and how he mines history, art history, and mystical sources to imagine alternate realities. Discover how Shaw sources childhood memories, contemporary issues, and current global crises, particularly in the contested territory of Kashmir, to create fantastical scenes set within hybridized geographies.
