Eyes of Time

Brooklyn Museum, December 12, 2014–July 12, 2015

Exploring ideas of femininity, empowerment, and multiplicity, Brooklyn-based artist Chitra Ganesh drew inspiration from the Museum’s encyclopedic collection, including representations of the goddess Kali, to create a site-specific multimedia installation for the Herstory Gallery.

The monumental mural takes Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction and rebirth, and other figures from Judy’s Chicago’s The Dinner Party as starting points for portraying female power and plurality.
