This episode we are beyond thrilled to be joined by incredible artist Chitra Ganesh. Born and raised in Brooklyn and Queens, and currently based in Brooklyn, Chitra’s multi-disciplinary practice encompasses drawing, painting, animations, collages, and many more media to question and disrupt narratives around gender, sexuality, power, and identity. Anchored in the history of South Asia, her gorgeous and detailed works combine a vast array of influences including South Asian iconography, science fiction and queer theory, with the visual languages of vintage comics, Bollywood posters, and video games to stunning effect. Chitra’s work has been exhibited internationally, including solo shows at Brooklyn Museum, MoMA PS1, and the Gothenburg Kunsthalle in Sweden - just to name a few. Her work is represented in the collections of museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Kiran Nadar Museum in Delhi, India. Beyond her list of awards and fellowships, what makes this especially exciting is that an exhibition of Chitra’s work will be opening on February 18th at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis. Some artists discussed in this episode:  Dykes to Watch Out For by Alison Bechdel Hothead Paisan by Diane DiMassa Louise Bourgeois Howardena Pindell Kara Walker Janine Antoni Zarina Martha Rosler Coco Fusco Mariam Ghani  For images, artworks, and more behind the scenes goodness, follow @artfromtheoutsidepodcast on Instagram.

Artist Chitra Ganesh

Maia Cruz Palileo

Chitra Ganesh is a multi-disciplinary artist working with myth, symbols and narrative. Guest host Maia Cruz Palileo, also a multi-disciplinary artist, was mentored by Ganesh in the Queer Art Mentorship program. During a visit to Ganesh's studio in DUMBO, Brooklyn, the artists discuss her exhibition "The Scorpion Gesture" at the Rubin Museum, a series of motion-activated animations which engage with the permanent collection of Himalayan art. The show includes a second part, "Face of the Future", in which Ganesh invited seven emerging artists, including Palileo, to contribute work relating to science fiction and the future.
