Arpita Shah
Arpita Shah: Nalini
Friday 12th April – 14th July 2024
“Spanning India, East Africa and the UK, Nalini explores the connected histories of Arpita Shah’s mother, her grandmother and herself. The exhibition, displayed in Duff House, reveals ancestral intimacies across space and time, and how their histories, memories and bodies are intertwined. Arpita’s journey is both an intimate reflection on family history and a shared experience of the imperial routes of migration that tie Scotland, India and Kenya together.
Nalini is a personal journey for Arpita Shah, which has allowed her to reconnect with the past through her maternal lineage and explore how migration, distance and loss have shaped their lives. Her photographic journey led to discoveries of old forgotten family photographs, shared and individual memories of objects, places, and family stories. The portraiture process itself physically connects the artist to her mother and grandmother, allowing her to visually explore how connected their lives really are.”
