India: A Light Within
The bodily experience - textures, sights, sounds, and smells - of life in Calcutta in 2007 are evoked through the photography of award-winning Carnegie-Mellon faculty member Charlee Brodsky, and the prose and poetry of writers Zilka Joseph and Neema Bilpin Avashi. These contemporary photos and meditations are juxtaposed with a series of photos, "The Dance of Hands," which captures the expressive range of hand "mudras" in the ancient art of Odissi dance. Renowned dance master Sreyashi Dey performs Odissi dance live in the Duderstadt Center Gallery on Friday, October 30 at 6:30 p.m.
The exhibit runs now through November 9 in the Gallery. The Gallery is open from 12-6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
