Chennai - Waterless, Watermore
Chennai - the monsoons of surfeit and of so little.
Chennai - the summer sometimes so dry.
Chennai - where the overflow drowns the city.
Chennai - where the summer is parched.
The city of Chennai has, over decades, experienced either drought or floods. The relationship with water has been a complex one for residents of Chennai.
Confronted with often less and sometimes more water, the people of Chennai have always been affected by this constant oscillation. Climate change and poor planning are often debated as the core reasons for this situation.
Waterless, Watermore is an exhibition of paintings, dedicated to the spirited people of Chennai who bravely face drought and floods with equanimity.
The exhibition commemorates the Madras Week celebrations in the city in August 2022.
The exhibition is presented by Art-is, a collective of 6 artists based in Chennai. The artists who approach water in their distinct styles, individually and collectively delve into the core of their being to present their response to the paucity and excess of water.
