Ishwar, Allah, Waheguruand Shriram Different names for the one creator
In 1989, playwright, actor, and activist Safdar Hashmi was fatally attacked by political thugs while performing a street play outside of Delhi. His death led to the founding of Sahmat, an influential artist collective that has taken a consistent stance against the threats of religious fundamentalism and sectarianism in India through a vibrant mix of high art and street culture.
In the first major exhibition about the group organized for U.S. audiences, The Sahmat Collective: Art and Activism in India since 1989 uniquely situates two decades of contemporary Indian art within the political sphere while meditating on art’s capacity as a force for change.

インドは今激動の時代を生きているから、
民衆のエナジーと政治色の強いメッセージが、色濃い作品でした

海外の大物アーティストの展示は日本でも見る機会はあるだろうけど、
進撃に時代と戦っているようなものに出会うチャンスはなかなかないかもな。
Have a good one
