Join the curator Jinah Kim and the artist Atul Bhalla for a tour of "Water Stories: River Goddesses, Ancestral Rites, and Climate Crisis" and a discussion of the artwork "I was Not Waving but Drowning II" (2005). After years of observing ecological deterioration and alienation of the river from urban communities, Atul Bhalla ritualistically submerged himself in the Yamuna River, alluringly captured in the set of fourteen serial photographs on loan from the Harvard Art Museums. Kim and Bhalla will discuss this work and its context within the gallery.
