Chitra Ganesh In Conversation

Chitra Ganesh’s drawing-based practice brings to light narrative representations of femininity, sexuality, and power typically absent from canons of literature and art. Her wall installations, comics, charcoal drawings, and mixed media works on paper often take historical and mythic texts as inspiration and points of departure to complicate received ideas of iconic female forms. In this conversation, the artist will discuss shedding light on narrative representations of femininity, sexuality, and power through her drawing-based practice.
