Distant Fellowship at William Morris Gallery

Exhibition, Intervention and Alternative Guide to the Collection by Studio Carrom, 2021

Studio Carrom’s exhibition, Distant Fellowship explores the connections between Morris’s work and legacy, and South Asia. Priya Sundram and Nia Thandapani, former artists in residence at the Gallery present an exhibition and alternative guide to the gallery with their findings.

An intervention throughout the gallery places the work of 8 artists, designers and architects with links to South Asia, within the collection, to explore how their practices connect with and can have a conversation with Morris’s work. In contrast to how South Asian art and design is often presented in British museums as predominantly historic, this intervention brings contemporary work into the gallery space.

Featuring work by: Vasundhara Sellamuthu, Shahed Saleem, Shehzil Malik, Kangan Arora, Rathna Ramanathan, Sofia Niazi, Aleesha Nandhra, and Tiipoi
