I want to smear my face with the soil of the land: Exhibition by Usha dapur Kar

Usha Kar’s Powerful Collection on Display

Oxford-based artist and artivist Usha Kar presented a powerful collection of mixed media installations and paintings addressing climate justice and indigenous land rights. The title quotes Prakash Bhoir, a Warli activist fighting to save ancestral lands from development.

Inspiration from Endangered Species and Indigenous Beliefs

Usha's work is inspired by endangered species and the beliefs and origin stories of the adivasi people in central India. The exhibition included pieces co-created with community members in Oxfordshire and Cardiff, inspired by the art of Warli women. Usha facilitated workshops with MADE, OVADA, Sacred Arts, Halsway Manor, CAG, Willowbrook organic farm, OCA and Transition lighthouse.
