āToronto, ONĀ ā The highly anticipated premiere showcase ofĀ āThe Good Indian BrideāĀ performance art exhibit, by award-winning Artist/Director, Ms. Mutta, is unveiling for one-night-only in Toronto on Thursday, November 24, 2016, taking place inside the exclusive DAIS.Ā The Good Indian BrideĀ is a living manifestation of a distorted legacy, exploring the patriarchal subtexts of North Indian wedding rituals, both in the diaspora and the subcontinent.
What began as a photography exhibit featured at Nuit Blanche 2015 (Toronto) and the 2015 Feminist Art Conference (Toronto), is now coming to life through performance art for audiences to physically experience what it really means to be a āgood Indian brideā. This artistic labour of love is a masterful creation pushing boundaries and demanding that we engage in dialogue around South Asian marriage rituals, with all its beauty, grandeur, and darkness.
āThe ultimate goal growing up was to ensure that you were married. No degrees, no accolades, no awards, your dreams, desires and ambitions meant absolutely nothing if you were not marriedā. ā Ms. Muttaā
Ā We will be providing our beautiful jewelry for the event, pictures to follow!
Now letās take a look at the Anarkali series. Dating is tough. Relationships are tough. Being a girl is tough. Coming from a south Asian family is tough. Keeping your parents happy is tough. Combine those factors together and you enter the turmoil that is the reality of dating for south Asian women today.
Times are tough ladies and web series āAnarkaliā can relate!
*Stay tuned for an exclusive on event!*
