โ€˜Traditionโ€™ is often a fraught concept. On one hand it emphasises on the continuity of specific beliefs, values, or behaviour and thus attributing to the โ€˜identityโ€™ of a community or civilization; on the other hand, it is prone to change. Tradition transmutes itself under varied socio-political and cultural forces and propitiates new meanings. This talk titled โ€œManeuvering Tradition : Contemporary Visual Expressions from South Asiaโ€ brings into light and analyses the creative endeavours of South Asian artists who have engaged with tradition through appropriation, assimilation, interrogation, or criticism in relation to their socio-cultural contexts and experiences. It has thus not only given rise to novel approaches of cultural engagements, but new forms of visual expressions and language relevant to contemporary times.
