Artry Gallery, Fort Kochi Presents "Rite of Passage"
Curated by Kanchi Mehta
Open From 12 June - 12 July 2015
This exhibition, titled Rite of Passage includes 6 artists practicing in diverse media, whose works align with this concept, and in fact, compliment the implications of the term.
A rite of passage is a ceremony and marks the transition from one phase of life to another. It is an internal (as well as eternal) journey of evolution one must go through to pierce into a new role. This could be with reference to birth, beginnings, relationships, endings, and even death. This anthropological term and concept arose as a part of social obligations, when rituals were (and still are) performed when adolescents reached puberty, or when a king would be enthroned or when a woman would become a mother. However, this term marks a milestone at every step in our lives, whether it is trauma, re-location, revelation or love. This passage from one experience to another is enough to alter one’s perception of life as it was, into a re-coded transformation.
