Symbolic Arenas

In a considered response to Ikon’s architecture, Indian artist Sheela Gowda (b. 1957) transforms the high-ceilinged second-floor galleries with a trademark combination of powerful visual impact and socio-political concerns. Through poetic treatment of everyday ma­terials, Gowda makes strong statements that convey her uneasiness with the status quo, especially with respect to women and others marginalised by injustice.
