Supranav Dash. Eros and Its Discontents

About

The artist’s museum debut in America, Supranav Dash studied at the NY School of Visual Arts and resides in India. In his home country, he cannot exhibit his important body of work for fear of arrest and reprisals. Eros and Its Discontents explores the lives and desires of individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community living in India. The people in the images are treading a psychological minefield, lives enmeshed in a crisscross of complexities arising out of a religious, conservative, and homophobic Indian culture that is quick to marginalize and discriminate.

This exhibition is supported by the New York State Council of the Arts, Ruth Foundation for the Arts, Bay and Paul Foundations, Lily Auchincloss Foundation, and public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
