Kolkata-born artist Sayan Chanda re-envisions devotional objects, folk gods and mythic stories as hybrid forms shaped by identity and critical approaches to colonial histories. Working intuitively with fibre and clay, he uses processes such as weaving, stitching, quilting, dyeing and hand-building to create spaces where tales, figures and practices can be reimagined, rather than belonging to a single time, place or belief system.
How Many Fires, How Many Suns, How Many Dawns? is a major new commission that continues Chanda's interest in female and lesser-known deities. These figures, whose presence has endured through communal rituals, often carried out in the home, have often been overlooked or altered through patriarchal retellings.
