Event Description : ART EXHIBITION "Skin: the finer nuance" group show. 

The exhibition features the artworks of nine artists that reference several aspects of skin, from the personal, erotic and playful to its larger socio-political connotations. It examines the deep-rooted problematic practice of skin differentiation embraced by both the oppressor and the oppressed. It also delves into the philosophical aspects of skin and goes beyond the surface.

Artists : Achia Anzi, Baptist Coelho, Mithu Sen, Megha Joshi, Prajakta Potnis, Rahul Kumar, Shormii Chowdhury, Shivani Aggarwal, Shibu Arakkal

The human skin is our portal to the world outside and our sheath of protection against it as well. It is not an innocent category rather it is coded with years of colonial history and entrenched within the beauty myth. Empires and industries have been built on the pyramid of skin culture that begins with white skin at the top and ends with dark skin at the bottom of the pyramid.

The artists reference several aspects of skin, from the personal, erotic and playful to its larger socio-political connotations. It examines the deep-rooted practice of skin differentiation and addresses the fragile yet resilient nature of human sensibilities and other sentient beings.
