Reena Saini Kallat, Indian
Woven Chronicle, 2018
In Reena Saini Kallat’s Woven Chronicle, she illustrates a future marked by massive- scale migrations, driven by the rendering of land, inhabited for the majority of human history, uninhabitable. Using string and circuit boards, Kallat crafts an interconnected world map that dynamically communicates the global transformations. Her artwork serves as a plea for global communication and collaboration to confront the imminent tragedy that threatens to reshape our world beyond recognition. The artist adeptly addresses the diverse sources of migration, encompassing floods, droughts, and wars, highlighting the unifying theme of mass migration. Label by Jackson Smith
