Epic Stories and Cultural Flux: A Brief Visual History of South Asia

April 1 - September 11, 2016 - This exhibition draws together a diverse array of artworks and cultural artifacts from the subcontinent of South Asia, providing a brief historical overview of this region by way of its visual and material culture. Generally, South Asia encompasses the countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. However, national boundaries are a relatively recent development and shadow the complex histories that led to their modern formation. While limited in scope, this exhibition nonetheless attempts to unpack some of the deeper, entangled narratives that continue to inform social, political, and cultural spheres in the present tense.
