November 3, 2022 - March 25, 2023 The inaugural exhibition at the IAIA’s new location marks Indian artist Rummana Hussain’s first institutional solo presentation in the US with The Tomb of Begum Hazrat Mahal (1997). An expansive installation in which Rummana questions the representation of the minorities and of histories by trying to retrieve marginalized narratives of national and communal identities, focusing on the status of women while excavating the rhetoric of “other” in nationalist and religious institutions.
September 10 - December 4, 2022 Al-An deSouza’s experiments in photography routinely challenge everyday notions of the photograph as recording a fixed moment in time or providing reliable access to the past. This exhibition combines three recent photographic series—Flotsam (1926–2018), Elegies for Futures Past (and other Fugue States), and Anthology—with an earlier series, The Lost Pictures, in ways that question such notions about photography in relation to family memory, diasporic identity, and the broader sweep of historical change linked to colonial empire and its ongoing repercussions.
