India Art Fair 2016: Anita Dube’s Artwork on Caste and Intolerance
The Quint brings you some interesting pieces on display at the Indian Art Fair 2016.
Out of the galleries and onto the streets, art came alive at the NSIC Grounds in Okhla, Delhi, with the India Art Fair 2016, a three-day affair being held from January 28-31. The IAF is currently in its eight season and is the largest contemporary art event in South Asia.
This installation by artist Anita Dube, titled Beef or Mutton is a strong visual reminder of the Dadri lynching. It is made up of PvC tubes, screws, putty, velvet and enamelled eyes.
Her other piece, Portrait shows a blood-stained Annhilation of Caste by Dr BR Ambedkar. This particular art piece, Dube tells us, was made in response to Rohith Vemula’s suicide.
