The truth behind the picturesque
View(s):
Faces from the line rooms, ash-smeared, pottu-adorned, dressed as colourful South Indian devas with garlands of paper money, mostly creased and careworn but still blooming in the cold– Kisho Kumar’s exhibition Hills of Neglect captures the truth of the estate workers’ plight behind the picturesque.
Born and brought up in misty Hatton with his mother a principal in a school catering to estate children, Kisho says he wants to ‘find sustainable solutions to the problems the community faces’.
The dramatic juxtaposition of images is on view at the Sapumal Foundation today, Sunday April 2 from 11 a.m. till 7 p.m.
