Ishara Art Foundation and Han Nefkens Foundation Present 'The Sky Held It, the Earth Remembered'
An exhibition titled 'The sky held it, the earth remembered' at Ishara Art Foundation is co-organized with Han Nefkens Foundation. Featuring Shahana Rajani, Rohini Devasher, and Sarker Protick, it marks Rajani's recognition as the first recipient of the South Asian Video Art Production Grant. The show's photography, moving image, and installations propose that land, water, and the cosmos store memory and history. Environmental change leaves its traces across deep time, the exhibition argues. Engaging Anthropocene critiques, the show turns away from human-centered perspectives, focusing instead on the inseparable link between people and non-human forces. The earth is not a passive witness to history.
