The team at TARQ is delighted to present Boshudhara Mukherjee in conversation with Rosalyn D'Mello. Join us for a live conversation where the panellists discuss Boshudhara's current exhibition, 'The Familiars' at TARQ.
The artworks in this exhibition present the artist's introspection of her sense of drawing closer to the lives around her, drawing sustenance and inspiration from them to conjure new beings in the form of her woven canvases. As her distinctive technique, Boshudhara weaves in found objects - some of sentimental significance, others entirely coincidental - into her canvases that resemble tapestries or fragments of carefully mended textile.
This conversation will explore the themes, inspirations and influences that led to this body of work.
