The exhibition features two global artists, Siona Benjamin and Maureen Drdak, both Fulbright Scholars in 2011. Siona Benjamin is a painter originally from Bombay, now living in the US. Her work reflects her background of being brought up Jewish in a predominantly Hindu and Muslim India – a mosaic inspired by both Indian Miniature paintings and Sephardic icons.
Maureen Drdak’s work incorporates ancient repoussé techniques transmitted from her Nepali Masters, rich in eastern and western iconographies and cultural paradigms, breaching the boundaries between material realms and practices.
Admission is free.
