Nalini Malani Retrospective Part II Opens at Castello di Rivoli

The second part of Nalini Malani's retrospective, 'Nalini Malani: La rivolta dei morti. Retrospettiva 1969-2018. Parte II,' curated by Marcella Beccaria, opens at Castello di Rivoli after its first installment at Centre Pompidou in autumn 2017. Covering roughly fifty years of the artist's production, the exhibition is organized across five rooms on the third floor of the castle, each presenting a specific body of work. Malani, born in Karachi in 1946, draws inspiration from Cassandra, the prophetess condemned not to be heard, to address violence against women. Her complex installations combining painting, drawing, and projections weave ancient myths with contemporary echoes, creating a political art that looks to Eastern archetypes and Greek myths while engaging with theater and contemporary literature. A series of talks with art historians and critics accompanies the exhibition, focusing on gender-based violence.
