Antumbra

A publication on Jitish Kallat’s deeply moving installation Antumbra, presented at the India Art Fair in February 2024. Known for his ability to distill the complexities of historical documents and their trajectories, Kallat’s Antumbra created a compelling pause for reflection as FICA’s seventh Special Artist Project at the India Art Fair. The installation focused on the life of former South African President and anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela, highlighting his long years of incarceration.

Shaping the afterlife of the project and exploring the themes that emerged from it, the publication features a profound exchange between the artist and Judge Albie Sachs during Kallat’s research trip to South Africa. Judge Sachs, a distinguished jurist, activist, scholar, and author, has spent a lifetime fighting for justice in South Africa. Together, they explore the experience of time in confinement and the legacy of Nelson Mandela. The publication, designed by Sukanya Baskar, also includes an essay by curator and art historian Dr. Beth Citron, which contextualizes this latest installation within Kallat’s wider practice.

The project and publication are supported by JSW Group, Sangita Jindal, Tarana Sawhney, Sunita Choraria, Radhika Chopra, Roshini Vadehra, and Parul Vadehra
