About this Event

Join featured artist Shaurya Kumar for a gallery tour of his current exhibition "Living Without The Gods" starting at 2PM.
Chicago-based artist Shaurya Kumar investigates how human societies construct meaning and identity in the absence of monuments and objects that once anchored their cultures. Kumar explores the transformation of artifacts when displaced from their original contexts, reflecting on the modern ruin. Through printmaking, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, photography and installation, he examines crumbled temples, relocated columns, empty tombs, and lost traditions, questioning the fate of cultural relics lost to time, museums, or private collectors. The exhibition fosters dialogue on identity, history, and diaspora.
