Taking a plunge into the dynamic world of photography, Ishara Art Foundation in Dubai brings an exhibition that nurtures emerging and cutting edge artistic practices from South Asia on an international platform.

Titled ‘Growing Like A Tree: Static In The Air’, Ishara’s second iteration of the exhibition Growing Like a Tree, is a display of works that are path-breaking curatorial directions in the fields of photography and contemporary art.

Curated by artist Sohrab Hura, the exhibition will transform the existing show at the Foundation through a process of live interventions that will be open to the public from September 11.

Taking a dynamic approach to exhibition-making, the show will see Hura’s navigation in the field of image-making practices across geographic borders, drawing new nodes, maps, and interconnections.

A treat to the eyes and ears, the show introduces multiple levels of experiences as several texts in the exhibition change, along with newly added works side by side with selected existing works, shifting in scale and volume.

The exhibition will see works by some of the aced photographers such as Kushal Ray’s ‘Intimacies’ that map time over a decade in the life of a family. Prantik Basu’s short film ‘Sakhisona’ moves further into the past to unearth stories and songs performed around an ancient mound in West Bengal, where 6th-century artifacts were discovered.
