Description
<p>Chemould’s Director, Shireen Gandhy and artist Pushpamala N share a relationship that goes long before Gandhy became a gallerist. </p>
<p>In this episode, the pair speak about how S H Raza referred Pushpamala to Chemould introducing to the gallery an artist that emerged very distinctly as a sculptor, even making her mark as one, to eventually evolving into a photo-performance artist who was ready to push her work into other kinds of making. </p>
<p>Through the conversation, Pushpamala recalls the many influences and events in her life that have moulded her art-making practice into what it is today - from the Bombay riots, her early understanding of feminism, to politics finding a way to enter her work. </p>
<p>Formerly married to an eminent film theorist and being surrounded by cinema buffs to being captivated by Photo Romance and Film Noir, recreating movie scenes and characters: from ‘Fearless Nadia’, to exploring the vulnerability of the female heroine, Pushpamala and Gandhy talk about it all.</p>
