Art Dubai 2023

LATITUDE 28 brings together the works of Gopa Trivedi, Khadim Ali, Niyeti Chadha Kannal, Noor Ali Chagani, Shalina Vichitra, Sudipta Das, and Waswo X. Waswo. Artists from the Indian Subcontinent are increasingly delving into the possibilities of re-infusing traditional forms of art with new media, thus creating their own idioms which are at once post-colonialist and post-modernist. Some of these artists rework the evocativeness and stylization of miniature schools of painting to generate new socio-political discourses. Alluding to mythological/ historical narratives in the modern context, these artists locate their identities at the crux of historicity and contemporaneousness.

The artworks represented by LATITUDE 28 at Art Dubai 2023 are the depiction of social identities of class, gender, and race produced through the dynamic push and pull of personal histories, matter and place. Memory and identity are important artefacts of this profound cultural exchange.
