[Tender buttons, and another] Bellyache Opening

[Tender buttons and another] Bellyache is the second iteration rather an extension of the originally executed [Tender buttons and a] Bellyache where the exhibition hopes to provide a contemporary understanding of womanhood through art that reflects personal narratives sociocultural encounters and overheard histories. The exhibition strays away from the vicious circle of societal formations keeping in mind underlying South Asian traditions and currents of suppression.

When it is said to ‘stop bellyaching’ they mean to cease complaining about something that seems unreasonable or unjustified. Actions intentions words and dilemmas are deliberately caged buried beneath layers of sediments. They turn to secrets veils and endless pits of rubble that turn heavy. Feebly stitched buttons of a garment when forced to expand beyond capacity will unfasten or even break to being unruly. 

The gut feels full then again there is a bellyache — an ache to reveal an ache to set free an ache to unravel the hidden bits that make the very foundation of (a) being.
