We all know about the scenic beauty and picturesque views of Cherrapunjee in Meghalaya. Now imagine, wouldn’t it be cool to experience the serenity of Meghalaya, right here in Delhi.
Inspired by this, 12 international artists have created unique representations of the region and its heritage.
Titled “Abode of Clouds”, the exhibition draws its name from the English translation of Meghalaya and is open for viewing till June 18 at the India International Centre (IIC).
Prepare yourself to be blown away by the works by participants of Artists’ Point international Arts Residency Programme in Meghalaya in 2016. This programme was aimed at introducing a dialogue between diverse cultures and their art forms.
The northeastern state is a rich repository of biodiversity and natural splendour, spanning hills to waterfalls, all of which segue onto the canvas from the imagination of the artists-in-residence.
A combination of nature and culture, Meghalaya is embodied in the artworks which include paintings of landscapes, churches, footbridges, flora, open fields, red cows, among other peculiarities of the state.
The exhibition also features workpieces by local school children from around the East Khasi Hills.
The exhibition showcases works by Jana Bednarova and Juliana Mrvova (from Slovakia), Juhidevi Bhanjdeo (India), Dominik Bouma, Eliska Failova, Barbora Chlastakova, Katerina Pekna, Jan Prazan and Michaela Vrbkova (all from Czech Republic), Zsofia Hajdu (Hungary), Moinuddin Moni (Bangladesh), and Gabriela Valls Schorr (Spain).
