What does the body carry—and who is it carrying it for? In body of work, multidisciplinary artist payal kumar delves into the burdened, beautiful, and often fragmented body through a vivid blend of paintings, textiles, zines, and poetry. Their work draws from North Indian folk traditions and protective talismans to explore care, medicalization, and the limits of bodily autonomy in a world shaped by capitalism, colonialism, and generational trauma.
Braiding together kumar’s intimate journey as both caregiver and patient, this collection invites viewers to witness the reimagining of our bodies as vessels of connection rather than limitation.
Step into this bold, genre-crossing exhibit and experience a powerful invitation to see the body—and care—itself, anew.
