Surabhi Ghosh
is an artist and educator based in Montreal. She exploits the tensions
and imperfections in handmade patterns to give material and spatial form to narratives of pride and shame. Her
visual strategies for prompting active viewership involve inverting the central and the peripheral, interrupting
architectural edges, and disrupting the functionality and familiarity of everyday materials. Mapping points of
intersection between abstraction, minimalism, and ornamentation, Ghosh speculates on ways to “trouble” these
and other(ed) entwined histories. Her discursive position is developed using unruly textiles, repetitive processes,
and site-responsive installations.

they gather materials and motifs from personal, familial, and migrant histories, and translate them into forms

221a in Vancouver.
