Iniva GalleryNS Harsha: Nations
"This work took shape after my visit to a local small scale textile factory in which I personally experienced the realities of ‘human labour'. Hierarchies and exploitation are part of today's global economic order. Nations engages with these socio-political complexities and cultural entanglements."NS Harsha.
