Tagore’s Universal Allegories

‘Tagore has the capacity to make us think about our times through the filter of shattered ideals.’
Indian cultural critic Rustom Barucha

Iniva presents a unique collaboration between artists Anna Boghiguian and Goshka Macuga centered on the work of one of India’s most important figures of the early twentieth century, the poet and polymath Rabindrath Tagore.

Taking Santiniketan, Tagore’s school, university and utopian community in West Bengal, as a starting point, the two artists create installations that in different ways reflect this environment. Shown in separate galleries, the installations are conceived in relation to one another and will include several overlapping elements.
