FACING INDIA - RALF BEIL URVASHI BUTALIA ROOBIN...

How do female Indian artists position themselves today? How do they deal with their
responsibilities to society  as well as with the legacy of their feminist predecessors? What
kind of language do they invent to express that which has been unarticulated? In Facing India 
six female  Indian artists devote themselves not only to the history and future of India  but
also to their country in the present day. Torn between tradition and the modern world  India's
patriarchal society is in the midst of a socio-cultural transformation. In their multimedia
works Vibha Galhotra (*1978)  Shilpa Gupta (*1976)  Bharti Kher (*1969)  Prajakta Potnis
(*1980)  Reena Saini Kallat (*1973)  Mithu Sen (*1971)  and Tejal Shah (*1979) examine
boundaries-a central theme in Indian society  whether they are gender-related limitations  or
political  territorial  ecological  or religious boundaries. This richly illustrated
publication accompanies the first thematic exhibition of Indian women artists in Germany.
