So It Goes: with Yardena Kurulkar and Dr. Gita Chadha

Stalking Art | Chemould Podcasts

Introduced during Yardena Kurulkar’s exhibition So It Goes at Chemould Prescott Road when asked to write for it, Dr. Gita Chadha found in Yardena’s work a placeholder for her grief after loosing a dear friend not long ago. In this episode, the pair excavate the idea of death, grief, uncertainty and recalling memories as Yardena opens up about her heritage - growing up in a religious Bene Israeli family, the death of her father, the odd-jobs she’s worked as well as the female body - the recollection of which continues to impact and appear quite evocatively in her art practice. They go on to talk of memories as a site that not only contain personal history but also history of a community and also speak about what post-pandemic art will look like.
