ARTIST TALK & DEMO
AT ASIAN ART MUSEUM
SAN FRANCISCO, CA
March 24 -25, 2017
Rupy had the honor to share the unique Sikh painting style from the Sikh Kingdoms during the 19th century as well as contemporary Gurmukhi calligraphy at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, CA. The Artist demo and talk were part of the programming in support of the Sikh Art Exhibition "Saints and Kings" running at the museum. It was a moment of pride to bring Sikh heritage to life through art practice at a major museum.
Romance and Rebellion
Heer
Heer Ranjha
Heer Ranjha is one of the most famous folk stories of Punjab, and has often been likened to Romeo and Juliet, in that they are both tales of romance that end in tragedy, but could it be that Heer Ranjha is more than just popular folklore and a love story?
We have attempted to redefine this epic saga through exploring the importance of Heer, what she represents and what message Waris Shah intended for her character to convey.
