Through Sunday, August 25, Socrates Sculpture Park will play host to "We are nomads, we are dreamers," a solo exhibition of newly commissioned works by Guyanese artist Suchitra Mattai that "celebrates the migratory oceanic journeys of past, present, and future diasporic communities."
Inspired by the waterfront setting, the outdoor display will include a series of soft sculptures made from vintage saris collected from women of the South Asian diaspora; hanging sculptures adorn a grove of trees, "reflecting on notions of femininity and fertility"; and a 30-foot collage by Mattai at the south entrance of the Park. Organized in collaboration with Barkha Dance Company, dance performances will activate the exhibition on August 25.
