World Art - by Craig Hill

Meeting Modernity - Traditional Indian Art Form Explores HIV, 9/11

October 30th 2006 22:41
Wandering from village to village, Patua scroll painters from West Bengal, India, traditionally made a living singing their own compositions while unrolling painted scrolls.

A new exhibition at the world reknown Sante Fe Gallery in New Mexico, US: 'Village of Painters: Narrative Scrolls' from West Bengal features a wide range of scrolls - from stories of Hindu gods and goddesses to HIV prevention - and examines how the artists embrace change and sustain their art form in the modern world. The genesis for the exhibition sprung from guest curator Frank Koroms fieldwork in India. Previously a curator at the Museum of International Folk Art, Korom is now an associate professor of anthropology and religion at Boston University. His book on the Patuas, Village of Painters: Narrative Scroll Paintings from West Bengal, will be published by Museum of New Mexico Press and is due out later this year
