An Evening with Shambhavi Kaul

MoMA. · October 1, 2018 Applying deep research, precise editing, and fine-tuned humor to a combination of her own cinematography and found footage, Shambhavi Kaul depicts landscapes and figures that exist between imagination and reality. Her work uses cultural tropes from places like Hong Kong, India, and Mexico to reveal the ambiguous meanings behind loaded popular signifiers. Kaul presents a selection of her films, including new work, followed by a conversation. https://www.moma.org/calendar/events/4753

Notes From Another India

Hyde Park Picture House. Leeds, UK. · October 1, 2017 Shambhavi Kaul (in person) The final event in the series combines films and live readings by Indian-born artist-filmmaker Shambhavi Kaul. Constructed from found films, television and her own filming, Kaul combines different textures of moving image materials and temporal strategies to create familiar yet unlocatable sensations of place. Ostensibly landscape films, her work raises questions about where we are and where we come from – both culturally and geographically. https://www.facebook.com/events/165526814017113
