Event Description : 'R.A.P.E (Rare Acts of Political Engagement)' a group art show of 24 women artist.

As a unique group show R.A.P.E. is expected to debate the issues regarding the sexual atrocities committed against women. The show features the works of Anindita Bhattacharya, Arshi Irshad, Deepa Jayaraman, Garima Jayadevan, Kanika Sharma, Kavita Singh Kale, Manmeet Devgun, Manmeet Sandhu, Maya Pillai, Meena Kandasamy, Megha Joshi, Moutushi Chakravarty, Mukta Wadhwa, Neha Grewal, Neha Lavingia, Pallavi Singh, Pari Baishya, Pooja Panchal, Priyanka Govil, Sabrina Osborne, Sumana Chowdhury, Sushma Sabnis, Varnita Mahajan and Vinita Dasgupta.

The idea of R.A.P.E. - Rare Acts of Political Engagement was formulated at the wake of the national outcry that followed the gang rape of a paramedic in New Delhi. However, the show is not intended to deal directly with rape of a particular girl and her death. Without making rape as a thematic, R.A.P.E is an attempt to bring in a variety of visual responses to the very atrocious notion of keeping woman as a secondary citizen even in our so called globalized scenario. Despite all feminist interventions still women are subjected to power both in the private and public domains. Physical violence against women in the form of rape is not a biological act of the perverts but a strong imposition of power that often goes unchecked and unpunished.
