Mita Chowdhury: My (M)otherland

Having been born and raised in Bangladesh and a migrant in Australia for nearly two decades, Mita often feels both lands are foreign – the treatment she receives from the people of both lands as an outsider.

The paintings, presented as banners, reflect the artist's personal experience of uprootedness and displacement and resonate with the universal experience of migration and refugee crises. The banners depict the folk tales and fables that were part of the artist's upbringing, incorporating her native hand-stitching practice from traditional household items called Kantha.

Exhibition launch: Thursday 14 November, 6pm to 7.30pm.
