Indo-Canadian director Srinivas Krishna, who is best known for his exemplary Masala, is paying homage to Indian film pioneer Raj Kapoor, who, alas, is barely known here.

That’s a shame because Mr. Kapoor, in the persona of his Chaplinesque tramp, was a major populist figure in Hindi cinema. Trading on that populist theme, the installation invites viewers not just to watch clips from Mr. Kapoor’s canon but to Photoshop their own faces directly into his film world. He was us, and now we are him. – Rick Groen

Curated by Vijay Kumar
IAAC Director of Exhibitions Tanu Jindal

Erasing Borders is a richly provocative exhibition by artists of the Indian diaspora who confront issues of sexuality, terror, disease, the environment, racial and sectarian politics in painting, prints, installations, video, and sculpture. With great technical mastery and diversity of theme and style, these works combine traditional Indian aesthetics with Western elements, and speak to the powerful experience of personal and cultural dislocation in the global village. In its eighth year, Erasing Borders is curated by Vijay Kumar and produced by the Indo-American Arts Council. Free and open to the public.
