Akshita Gandhi strives to answer questions about India's post-colonial identity and the residents' vitality and spirit reflected by the architecture using her art.
About
Is India truly free seventy-five years after its independence? The Indian Independence Act, which established India's independence from British imperialism, went into effect in August 1947. However, the act partitioned India, causing significant social divisions. What is India's post-colonial identity now, amidst social and political upheaval and increasing censorship? And how does the surrounding architecture reflect the residents' vitality and spirit?
Akshita Gandhi, a photographer and multimedia artist, strives to answer these questions in her solo exhibition "A love letter to my home." Presented at The Nehru Centre by Gabriel Fine Arts to celebrate the 75th anniversary of India's independence, Gandhi's work casts new light on Mumbai and Udaipur, revealing cityscapes in flux and essentially coming undone.
