On Saturday, May 13th, SITDON Arts Collective will be having the opening reception for ‘Mother, Mother’ at Nine Eighteen Nine Gallery. Curated by Teresa Christine (SITDON Founder), this exhibition will explore the multilayered perceptions of mothers, motherhood, mother-child dynamics, & pregnancy (literal and figurative). The essence of these 20+ pieces of art will refelect each artist’s individual ideals regarding maternal relationships and representation. Come meet some of the artists, enjoy complementary wine (first come, first serve), and vibe to the musical stylings of DJ Micki Blendz. Date & Time: May 13th, 6pm-9pm Admission: $10 *’Mother,Mother‘ will be the first of a series of SITDON gallery pop up shows at Nine Eighteen Nine Gallery.

A multidisciplinary feminist artist, Indrani Nayar-Gall weaves global narratives of marginalization, patriarchy, and misogyny through her practice in installation, 2-D/3-D media, and moving image. Social justice themes stem from influences in her mixed north-south Indian background, parental modeling of community engagement, helping marginalized women survivors, and socio-political activism. In a career spanning over thirty-five years, including teaching, Indrani has exhibited nationally and internationally and founded Yes She Rises LLC. Indrani Nayar-Gall has an MFA in Experimental Printmaking, Graduate Certificate in Contemporary Non-toxic Printmaking, and a Diploma in Education. Her non-conformist work that springs from being surrounded by women-made cultural/ritual mark-making, are evocations of women’s bodies as sites of violence, dreams and aspirations. Using or combining multiple media, words/text, she stretches the limits of the conventional processes to create bodies that physically hang, stretch over the floor or wall, or create non-linear digital moving image narratives. Her processes are individual but also collaborative or participatory.
