Strangers House Gallery

Current show

Strangers House is a Gallery of Contemporary Art initiated through perspectives on alternate art history, universalism, black consciousness , Cheikh Anta Diop & Ambedkar. Based in Bombay with deep connections to Africa, Latin America & India. We seek Universalism in Art as a precursor to a visual imaginary that encompasses aesthetic philosophies that could be drawn between Africa, Latin America and India, that are read from the writings of Dr B R Ambedkar & Cheikh Anta Diop, founded on humanity emerging from secularism and black consciousness. We practice a material reality of production through artisanship & simplicity - wood, bronze, terracotta, print, ceramic and paint that define us as artists. Inviting Strangers as Guests, it is a house that enters a long existing dialogue that Bombay makes us inhabit in its architecture, people, spontaneity and function.

Sagar Kamble monumentalizes his mother and grandmother in mixed media drawings that metaphorize them with animals that come to forage on their subsistence farms on the foothills of a tropical forest in the Konkan. As his grandmother and mother tend the fields for him, the animals come in conflict with them as they search for food for their progeny. He sees rural conflicts between man and animal - events from his village on the edges of a forest in Kolhapur - as reflections of political conflict in contemporary times. His mother, a farmer who nurtured their family homestead is the heroine of his intricate drawings that hold sympathies with animals finding food outside the jungles where human - animal conflict is a mark of an untenable hunger created for both by climate change.
