Center for Human Rights and the Arts Presents

Amar Kanwar: The Scene of Crime

Imagine the morning newspaper, headlines in couplets, black and white but in verse. Imagine that constellation of words. Truth as told by the stars and birds. Translated by bread and transcribed by daughters. Imagine the formal presentation of poetry as news of the day. Imagine the formal presentation of poetry as evidence in a future war crimes tribunal.
Join us for a presentation by Amar Kanwar.

Amar Kanwar's films and multi-media works explore the politics of power, violence, and justice. His multi-layered installations originate in narratives often drawn from zones of conflict and are characterized by a unique poetic approach to the personal, social, and political. Recent solo exhibitions have been held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Tate Modern, and Bildmuseet. Recent group exhibitions have been at the Museum of Modern Art, Sharjah Biennale 15, Kochi Biennale, and Castello Di Rivoli. Kanwar has also participated in Documenta 11, 12, 13, and 14 in Kassel, Germany.
