See It First

Members at the Advocate level and above are invited to view Suchitra Mattai: Myth from Matter before it opens to the public. In her multifaceted artistic practice, Suchitra Mattai (b. 1973, Georgetown, Guyana) explores and complicates understandings of binaries such as East and West, art and craft, and history and memory. The way certain histories are remembered, or not, is central to much of her art. The exhibition pairs Mattai’s recent work, including mixed-media installation and sculpture, with historical objects sourced from nearby collections in Washington, DC. For the first time, these juxtapositions provide the opportunity for a visual call and response that illuminates Mattai’s work.
