Opening Reception: Sunday November 16, 2:30-5pm

Vani Bhushan is an Indian photographer based in New Delhi and New Haven, CT. Her work draws upon a constellation of materials spanning 19th-travel diaries and photographic albums which construct colonial visions of “the Orient.” In this exhibit, Bhushan employs layered representations – from early ethnographic imagery to self-narration of the diaspora – to reflect on the constantly evolving experience of South Asian communities in America throughout history.
