Curated by Shamooda Amrelia, Prabhakar Kamble, George Varley and Everyday Lusaka, ‘The panorama beyond the colour line’ is a show that resists platitudes. The viewer meets quiet confidence and unwavering (but never blaring) belief. The questions asked are simple, proud, and insistent; what do I describe, whom do I represent, what do I stand for? There is no ego, no braying presumption.
Curator Shamooda invites Sabiha Dohadwala a young weaver who is conceptually extending the medium to include a narrative of interactive materiality she allows
the audience to weave her ongoing tapestries which she considers as her growing extensions of her work and the conversations around it. She used a jacquard loom to re-imagine the doors of the fort at Fatehpur Sikri commenting on the diminishing architectural heritage of even though indigenous to us but now seen as foreign and Islamic.
