In this episode our founder Nour Hassan is joined with Bangladeshi artist Ayesha Sultana, and Curator Sabih Ahmed, who is the Director of Ishara art Foundation, as they explore the exhibition "Fragility and Resilience" during a talk hosted at the Ishara Art Foundation.
Ayesha shares her experience of witnessing her art in a larger context, revealing new facets of her journey and the nuanced dance of body-environment interactions. Sabih provides a behind-the-scenes look at the thoughtful curatorial process, highlighting the importance of presenting a solo exhibition from a South Asian artist outside of India.
We take a closer look at the rich interplay between art, breath, and the environment, focusing on the concept of porosity. The conversation uncovers the layers of unfinished art, where the boundaries of inside and outside blur, and Ayesha's conscious decision to pause her Breath Count series during the pandemic.
We filmed the full talk for you to enjoy on YouTube and Instagram. Make sure you follow Ishara art Foundation for more exhibitions and future programming.
