From digital collages and brick wall sculptures to hand-painted photographs and installations made with Hanji paper, contemporary artists are trying to push the boundaries of their practice to create narratives around critical issues such as migration, climate change and identity. At the third edition of the Delhi Contemporary Art Week (DCAW), starting Sunday, digital collages such as Comfort With Her Precipice by Chitra Ganesh, with stylized figures in the style of Amar Chitra Katha, will share space with a series of three hand-painted photographs by Waswo X. Waswo, titled The Culture Keepers. In the latter, the artist spoofs the forces that maintain and control museums.
