Santhal Family: Positions around an Indian Sculpture
The book was published to coincide with the exhibition “Santhal Family: Positions Around an Indian Sculpture” at MuHKA. Starting with Santhal Family, Ramkinkar Baij’s most famous work, this exhibition radiated outwards: first, from the state of Bengal, where the sculpture stands, drawing historic links between left wing politics and the visual arts, literature, theatre and film; then, through the work of contemporary Indian artists familiar with Santhal Family as an iconic work. The publication contains commissioned texts from amongst others Will Bradley, Sivakumar and Stephen Morton, the writing of Mahasweta Devi and visual essays by artists including Sunil Gupta, Matti Braun, Juan Pérez Agirregoikoa and Raqs Media Collective.
