Riyas Komu, Jagannath Panda, Hema Upadhyay | Midnight’s Children

This photo album documents the group exhibition “Midnight’s Children” at Studio la Città, a project that takes its title from Salman Rushdie’s famous novel to use it as a metaphor for contemporary artistic language in India. Curated by Marco Meneguzzo, the album explores the work of three of the most important Indian artists: Riyas Komu, Jagannath Panda and Hema Upadhyay. Through works created specifically for the exhibition, the volume analyses Riyas Komu’s historical and ideological approach, the irony and dialectical contrasts between sculpture and painting in Jagannath Panda’s work, and Hema Upadhyay’s poetic aerial installations, which focus on the condition of women.
