The Politics of Skin and Movement, London
Amol K Patil investigates structures of power and how forms of resistance can be passed down along informal channels of communication – such as through families.
This solo show at the Hayward Gallery's Heni Project Space is the first round of a collaboration between the Hayward and Kochi-Muziris Biennale, supported by the Durjoy Bangladesh Foundation. Patil will reprise his installation from last year's Kochi showcase, using drawings, sculptures, kinetic objects and moving images to understand how labour and caste impact the body.
It also carries forward his own family’s tradition of activism: his father was an avant-garde playwright, and his grandfather a poet.
