I would rather be a lover than a fighter
A textile installation by Nadin Reschke
German artist Nadin Reschke stayed 5 weeks at 1 Shanthi Road as part of the bangaloREsidency. Central to her practice is creating and facilitating processes and situations of communication. Her way of working is based on direct exchange with people. She lives and works in Berlin, but many of her works are created in transcultural contexts.
Nadin employs the traditional saree as a sculptural material and collaborates with a local screen printer to print the individual narratives as text onto the textiles, emphasising the origins of the two words – textile and text – which come from the same Latin origin meaning “to weave.” The work has culminated in a textile installation bringing together a pluralistic view that recognises gendered realities, which in turn hopes for possibilities of change in the way we construct our realities and the way in which we shape the cities we live in.
*On view on November 23 & 24, 2019 from 10.30 a.m. to 7.30 p.m.*
