Rahee Punyashloka
Artist Rahee Punyashloka will be discussing his work, the Mukta Salve Triptych which is a part of MAP’s exhibition, VISIBLE/INVISIBLE: Representation of Women in Art through the MAP Collection.
Rahee’s multifold work attempts to memorialise the forgotten legacy of Mukta Salve, the first female Dalit writer. As a fourteen-year-old schoolgirl, Mukta wrote and produced a manifesto which is considered an early contribution to Dalit Feminist Literature.
Join Rahee as he speaks about the three parts that constitute this work: a digitally altered photograph from the 1850s, an artwork envisioned as a cover page to Mukta Salve’s pioneering essay, On the Grief of the Mangs and Mahars, and the essay itself, published as a book very likely for the first time in its one and half century of existence. It’s accompanied by translations in Kannada and Tamil, along with extant English translation and the original Marathi version.
This event is conceptualised under our permanent exhibition VISIBLE/INVISIBLE: Representation of Women in Art through the MAP Collection.
Bookings are closed for this event.
