This survey of the Indian-born artist’s work at Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge (16 October–30 January 2022), begins with her contributions to the anti-racist activism of the British art scene in the 1980s; key early paintings such as Housewives with Steak-knives (1983–85) – a self-portrait, in the guise of the multi-armed Hindu Goddess Kali – are shown alongside films and works on paper from the era. The display extends to Biswas’s more recent explorations of memory and community – including a new commission, Lumen, which narrates a fictional journey inspired by the artist’s own experience of migration. Find out more from Kettle’s Yard’s website.
