Presence of what; Absence of whom

COCA (Center of Creative Arts)

In Presence of what; Absence of whom, St. Louis-based, Indian-born interdisciplinary artist Sukanya Mani presents her most intimate side by using clusters of undulating paper and fabric forms to retell the daily rituals and traditions that shaped her identity as an immigrant woman. Following her commitment to raising awareness about domestic abuse, with a highlight on immigrant and refugee populations, Mani asks the visitors to question the repeated rituals each of us performs to present our own versions of masculinity and femininity. This exhibition is an investigation of identity and meaning making through rituals, clothing over time.

Spend time in Truvy's salon in the small town of Chinquapin, Louisiana, where the ladies who are "anybody" come to have their hair done, discuss their lives, and gossipp about others' with sharp, hilarious dialogue. A tragedy brings out the underlying strength-and love-in their friendship, revealing them to be truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.
