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 contemporary\, 
 cutting-edge works created by nine emerging Indian-American visual artists
  from across the United States. Hosted by the National Indo-American Museu
 m with major funding provided by a grant from the NEA\, curated by Shaurya
  Kumar\, chair of faculty and associate professor at SAIC. The nine Indian
  American artists in this exhibition create works of art that shed light o
 n notions of origins\, narratives of dispersal\, and cultural difference u
 nder the conditions of globalism. They travel through multiple narratives 
 of different nations and feel at home in the world\, moving in relation to
  and often beyond their transnational roots. Keen observers of frameworks\
 , they look at the world through a kaleidoscopic lens and employ diverse s
 ets of tools\, media\, techniques\, and processes including print\, drawin
 g\, sculpture\, video\, photography\, performance\, and installation. Thei
 r works are neither structured around nor resistant to their diasporic ori
 gins. They can be viewed as fluid\, multi-local and transient\, working th
 rough a liberated space that they constantly shape and reshape. The nine a
 rtists whose works appear in the exhibition are: Avantika Bawa Kaveri Rain
 a Kuldeep Singh Kushala Vora Nandita Raman Neha Vedpathak Sarika Goulatia
