Robert Mann Gallery
525 West 26th Street
10001 New York
Robert Mann Gallery present Spandita Malik’s debut solo exhibition with the gallery: Jāḷī—Meshes of Resistance.
Malik, a visual artist from India, lives in New York and spends extended periods of time in India collaborating with a network of women she has formed with the help of several not-for-profit organizations. The powerful images depicted in this exhibition are a collaboration between artist and sitter. Malik asks the sitter to embroider their portrait, an invitation for the subject to have power over how they are perceived, to assert control over their own image. Focusing on women’s rights and the impact of violence against women, Malik’s poignant work was born in response to the government’s lack of action against cases of rape which made Malik acutely aware of how much these acts of violence have become the norm within the culture.
