Exhibits & Events

The events surrounding Cheryl Mukherji’s move from India to the United States in 2018, and the separation from her family since then, are the main subjects of her series “Ghorer Bairer Aalo” (The Light Outside Home). In layered and complex images, Mukherji confronts the painful moments typically omitted from family albums to create a counter-archive that examines her relationship with her mother in the context of cultural and familial tradition, likeness and inheritance.
