The Bellefonte Art Museum in collaboration with Christina Dhanuja, writer and co-founder of Dalit History month, presents Heralding Utopias: Conceptions of a caste-less, class-less, state-less world
Heralding Utopias brings together visual art created by Dalit and Adivasi artists, whose conceptions of a world are free from caste, class, and state divisions. This exhibition, showcasing the work of fifteen artists from around the world, takes its inspiration from the utopian vision of the 15th century Indian saint-poet Guru Ravidas. Titled Begumpura, the saint imagines a place with no pain, taxes, or terror; no one is third or second in this land, and everyone is a friend of another.
Exhibition Committee Members: Christina Dhanuja, Lori Fisher, Pat House, Nalini Krishnankutty, and Alagammai Meyyappan
This exhibition is sponsored in part by The Happy Valley Adventure Bureau, The PA Council on the Arts, Pan APIDA Circle, and a community of local supporters.
