The first solo exhibition at Gallery Isabelle for the UAE-based Indian artist. Her practice spans drawing, performance, object-making, food interventions, and assemblage; says the gallery, “inviting us to engage with liminality, her work challenges the normative categories that shape our understanding of the world and our relationships with its human and nonhuman inhabitants … Her work is at once intimate and transnational. It asks us to sit uncomfortably with the deep interconnections between heritage, livelihood, home, and community-making with various forms of violence and exploitation”.<\/p>\n
Antevasin \u2013 the one who sits at the border of two worlds \u2013 serves as a guiding figure in this world. Through both process and form, Bhatia’s work illuminates the porous, shifting boundaries between life and death; Bhatia grounds much of her practice in fish and meat markets, engaging with the lives of humans and animals whose labour and bodies are entangled within the global food industry.<\/p>\n
To 10 September.<\/p>\n
