Summay
Conversations in my own language… highlights the contemporary practices of indigenous art in the country. The practices involved in creating these works are rooted in longstanding traditions. Many of these evolve from different practices to decorate one’s shrines, homes or even clothes.
These works depict religion, folklore and the evolution of the artist’s environment. Their contemporary observations and individual touch highlight the need (the endeavour of the gallery) to recognise not just a ‘style’ /type of art but individual artists as done in other contemporary contexts.
