SUMMARY:Rithika Merchant - Triennial (QAGOMA)
DESCRIPTION:  \nSeventy artists\, collectives and projects from more than 30 countries feature in the eleventh chapter of the flagship Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) exhibition series\, the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art. \nRithika Merchant:  \nMeet Triennial artist Rithika Merchant. \nFrom Mumbai\, India\, Merchant crafts vivid worlds where mythology\, science\, and speculative fiction intertwine. Her work brims with creatures and symbols that form her personal visual vocabulary. \nFor the Triennial\, her latest series\, ‘Terraformation’ 2022–23\, envisions beings venturing beyond Earth\, reshaping new planets into habitable realms. The fantasy softly veils the reality of our own threatened world\, where the eventual need to seek survival elsewhere in the universe seems as impossible as living harmoniously together in our present. \nShe has us wondering… in imagining far-off possibilities\, perhaps we can reimagine our own world\, here in the present? \nStep into Merchant’s otherworldly watercolours at QAG\, and let your imagination take flight. \nP.S. 🚀 Little dreamers can help shape new worlds in ‘If the Seeds Chose Where to Grow’ 2024\, an enchanting interactive at GOMA’s Children’s Art Centre. \nThe Triennial is free entry. \nFIND OUT MORE HERE: Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art
