UNBEARABLE MEMORIES, UNSPEAKABLE HISTORIES, PART 2: PARTITION ANTI-MEMORIAL PROJECT (in the photo).
The Art Center Highland Park presents the latest iteration of Pritika Chowdhry’s Unbearable Memories, Unspeakable Histories, part 2: Partition Anti-Memorial Project. Chowdhry founded the Partition Memorial Project in 2007, and in the past 15 years, has created nine different anti-memorials with the tenth one previewing at The Art Center Highland Park at the pivotal time coinciding with the final days of the year long commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the 1947 Partition of India.
BORDERS AND BOUNDARIES REDEFINED.
The profound work of Pritika Chowdhry inspired The Art Center Highland Park’s adjunct exhibition Borders and Boundaries Redefined. The Art Center Highland Park sought artists exploring how we define space, whether the literal borders in art, or the arbitrary lines delineating physical spaces such as states and countries, or the symbolic boundaries that separate self from others.
