Building: Anderson Auditorium Campus Location: Boston SMFA campus City: Boston, MA 02111 Campus: Boston SMFA campus Location Details: 230 Fenway, Boston, MA 02115 (Anderson Auditorium) Open to Public: Yes Event Type: Lecture/Presentation/Seminar/Talk Event Sponsor Details: Thanks to Robert Nagel, Tufts University Art Galleries, the MFA Graduate Program, and the Department of Graphic Arts for their continued support of the visiting artist series. Admission/Cost: Free Event Contact Name: Sophie Cloherty Event Contact Email: sophie.cloherty@tufts.edu Please join us at the SMFA for a talk and Q&A by visiting artist Chitra Ganesh! Across a twenty-year practice, Chitra Ganesh has developed an expansive body of work rooted in drawing and painting, which has evolved to encompass animations, wall drawings, collages, computer generated imagery, video, and sculpture. Through studies in literature, semiotics, social theory, science fiction, and historical and mythic texts, Ganesh attempts to reconcile representations of femininity, sexuality, and power absent from the artistic and literary canons. She often draws on Hindu and Buddhist iconography and South Asian forms such as Kalighat and Madhubani, and is currently negotiating her relationship to these images with the rise of right wing fundamentalism in India. Open to Tufts university students, faculty, and staff.
