Gözde Ju invites you to her Final Showing, the outcome of her bangaloREsidency@1Shanthiroad.

The Exhibition Pride, Wisdom, and Garden, produced in collaboration with local artisans and women’s communities in Bangalore traces the experiences of women, initiates dialogues and identifies domestic cultural objects and materials, and collects individual stories about the cultural heritage inherited from their mothers related to handicrafts from different cultural ethnicities. The Exhibition delves deeply into women’s stories, weaving her own family history with the shared experiences of many others. Ju’s art examines how identity, belonging, and generational memory are stitched into every fibre of these handmade items. The Exhibition opens a dialogue across geographies, blending Ju's experiences with those of other women. Elements of the Exhibition, produced in collaboration with local artisans and women’s communities in Bangalore, add a new dimension to this narrative. Each encounter with cultural symbols unique to a new geography enriches her story, highlighting both the distinctiveness and commonality of women’s handicrafts. By honouring the ethnic heritage passed down from mothers to 
daughters, Ju aims to create a collective story stitched from individual lives.

The exhibition opens on November 18, 2024 at 6.00 p.m. and will be on display on November 19 and 20, 2024 from 12 noon to 8.00 p.m.
