The Guild is pleased to present Barbed Floss a group
exhibition of new works and explorations by artists Tayeba Begum
Lipi, Mahbubur Rahman, Promotesh Das Pulak, Molla Sagar, and
Anisuzzaman Sohel.
Curated by Veeranganakumari Solanki, the works in this
exhibition ‘are homage to the resonating hollow cry beyond
politics, beyond countries, beyond continents; across borders
and over wires into freedom, peace and harmony to floss homes,
families, oceans, fields, land and skies.’ The exhibition
marks the first time these artists are showing together under
this conceptual framework in Mumbai and offers the opportunity
to engage with personal and political narratives of the issues
of borders, exchange, displacement and relationships with regard
to the geopolitics at play between neighbouring countries.
