The new exhibition at Latitude 28 is inspired by the work of the Italian painter Artemisia Gentileschi, whose portrayal of Judith and Holofernes is one of the earliest images associated with feminism. Curated by Jasmine Wahi, the show’s use of historical and religious iconography, ranging from Rani of Jhansi to goddesses Kali and Durga, represents a reinterpretation of strong feminist icons. The show will feature works by artists Anjali Bhargava, Chitra Ganesh, Divya Mehra, Hamra Abbas, Samira Abbassy, Shweta Bhattad and Sangeeta Sandrasegar.
