SUMMARY:E/MERGE: Art of the Indian Diaspora
LOCATION:708-658-4246\, The Umang and Paragi Patel Center National Indo-Ame
 rican Museum 815 S Main Street\, Lombard IL 60148 USA
DESCRIPTION:‘E/Merge: Art of the Indian Diaspora’ showcases contemporar
 y\, cutting-edge works created by nine emerging Indian-American visual art
 ists from across the United States. Hosted by the National Indo-American M
 useum with major funding provided by a grant from the NEA\, curated by Sha
 urya Kumar\, chair of faculty and associate professor at SAIC. The nine In
 dian American artists in this exhibition create works of art that shed lig
 ht on notions of origins\, narratives of dispersal\, and cultural differen
 ce under the conditions of globalism. They travel through multiple narrati
 ves of different nations and feel at home in the world\, moving in relatio
 n to and often beyond their transnational roots. Keen observers of framewo
 rks\, they look at the world through a kaleidoscopic lens and employ diver
 se sets of tools\, media\, techniques\, and processes including print\, dr
 awing\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, performance\, and installation. 
 Their works are neither structured around nor resistant to their diasporic
  origins. They can be viewed as fluid\, multi-local and transient\, workin
 g through a liberated space that they constantly shape and reshape. The ni
 ne artists whose works appear in the exhibition are: Avantika Bawa Kaveri 
 Raina Kuldeep Singh Kushala Vora Nandita Raman Neha Vedpathak Sarika Goula
