Guided by a research-led approach, Ishara Art Foundation in Dubai, has completed five years, dedicated to presenting contemporary art of South Asia.
As it celebrates five years, Ishara has opened its 11th show titled ‘Sheher, Prakriti, Devi,’ (City, Nature, Deity) by renowned photographer Gauri Gill, her first extensive curation in an art context, ruminating on the interwoven relationship between dynamic cities, the natural environment, and the inseparable sacred.
According to Sabih Ahmed, Associate Director and Curator of Ishara Art Foundation, the present show is one of the most ambitious – comprising 138 works – in scale but displayed with a sense of “light-weight levity.”
